A Day at the Races, Golden Gate Fields

These are photos I took recently at Golden Gate Fields, the racetrack near San Francisco.
The horses are headed to the starting gate.
The stride of a thoroughbred race horse can propel horse 
and jockey at speeds over 30 miles per hour.
The start of a race over the turf course.
The horses run past the grandstand for the first time.
Cruising to victory.
Time to pose for the winner's photo.
