Horse Racing Photo Shoot

This event has been suggested by one of our group members, Dane Alexander.

Photo Day at the Races! Horse Racing at Golden Gate Fields!

These are intended to be SELF-GUIDED events with no instructors and you are welcome to sign up for any day. I am planning to attend the April 27th Photo Day.

Golden Gate Fields will be hosting their three photo days again starting on April 27. I did this last year, it was really fun, but there are limited spots. Its a cool day where you get to see the horses up close and get some action shots!!!
