One-Two-Three

I can hear the horses long before I (or my camera) can see them. The sound that predominates on the track is a gentle noise that defies description; it sounds as though you were to put your lips together and breathe out hard, and then repeat in a rhythmic in a phhhhhph-phhhhhph-phhhhhph-phhhhhph. And that sound is followed by a slow crescendo in 4 beat, as the horses gallop toward you.

It's a sound (and a feeling) that is both comforting and exciting. It's the sound of horses on the track.

Stride for stride, these horses seem to be in sync (not to be confused with the boy band).

Ready, set, go baby go.
