Well, now that opening day is less than two weeks away, I really wanted to share these shots I took a couple of weeks ago at the Oklahoma Track. It is always such an easy, peaceful start to the day…<\/div>\n

The Whitney Viewing Stand which opened in August 2013 is a beautiful structure, offering spectators a beautiful, unobstructed of the Oklahoma Training Track.<\/div>\n

As I do most mornings when I am out the door by 6:00am, I made my stop at Dunkin’ Donuts and sat in the cool early morning sunshine, watching as the horses and their trainers made their way to the track. <\/div>\n

While I do enjoy the peaceful solitude of these pre-season workouts at the training track, I am so excited for the breakfast crowds once the season begins! I am one of those people who enjoys the crowds and the tourists…in addition to all the beautiful thoroughbreds, of course.<\/div>\n
