This was the 85th Annual Canadian Derby....known to many as the "Dash for the Daisies".It is the highlight of the thoroughbred racing season.This event grows in popularity every year and this year I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't break an attendance record.I have never seen as many people dress for the occasion.Women in their finery topped off by their wide brim hats.
As usual I didn't win one race but for me the thrill was just capturing the thoroughbreds and jockies and the faces in the crowd.
No one attending yesterday's event could argue that horse racing is a dying sport....not yesterday anyway.
