Turf Paradise Insight

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be on the backstretch, in the paddock, in the Director's Room, or at the starting gate? Well I had the opportunity to do that and I will post my videos and pictures about it soon. If there is something in particular that you want to see, let me know.

This video is an overview of my day at Turf Paradise. While there I went into the paddock, to the backstretch, to the starting gate, and into the Director's room.

Here is a video I shot of Turf Paradise's barns. Turf Paradise has room to accommodate 2000 horses.

While on the backstretch I filmed this video. The beginning of the video shows a hotwalker that is used to exercise the horse. The video goes on to show more of the backstretch.

Re: Turf Paradise Insight

you know, with 2000 stables, you might think they would have more than 6 or 7 horses in each race. i had no idea the barn area was that large.

 

thanks for posting. these videos are great, but i think the soundtrack might be my favorite part. :smileyhappy:

If you have never been on the backside before a race, here is a video to show you what it looks like. The horses come from their barns and walk up to the paddock.

I was standing near the scale where the jockeys weigh in when I filmed this video.
