Portland Meadows Track Photos (Image Heavy) - Updated 9/30/18
So I go hang from the rail occasionally at my local track. Often I take my camera to practice with (because after 30k photos with it I still only get about 1 in 20 I really like). I don't know anyone, so I have few backside photos. I wanted to share the ones I have as the season progresses, anyway. No night racing in the 2015 season, so I'm not going to make is as often as I want. But, I'll update this as the season progresses.
These are from Opening Day Oct 4th, 2015

Re: Portland Meadows Track Photos (Image Heavy)
Breeder's Cup day at the track. Not as nice as opening day. Is there a track condition for swimming pool? During two separate races a horse left a jockey at the gate. No injuries though. Track ponies even got dressed up!

Portland Meadows is where I got my start in the racing industry. It's one of my favorite tracks (I'm from Vancouver).

I always seem to miss racing by a day. I've even planned to arrive early in the past so I'd be able to go and something happens that always stops it. It's very frustrating!Ali Hedgestone wrote:If you ever come back to visit we should spend a day at the track!Melissa Mae wrote:Portland Meadows is where I got my start in the racing industry.

I did the same thing at Grants Pass Downs this summer. Missed the meet by a day. This season racing days are Monday and Tues, with a rare Saturday.Melissa Mae wrote:I always seem to miss racing by a day.

New season, new photos! Awesome opening day for Portland Meadows. 9 races in all. It was just overcast to make taking photos great until the sun came out for the last 2 races of the day!

Got to adore cute pony horses!

Be Hiclassboots walking to the paddock in the 1st QH race of the day. Ran 4th.

Aphiemi (6) is not quite sure what I'm up to after race 5.
PM 9/30/18 by Ali H,
First few jumps always seem the most powerful during the start of Race 6.

Youthful exuberance shown by Cody's Choice in The Inaugural.

The punky 3 year old Cody's Choice beat the odds and the older horses to romp home for his trainer Ashley Ann Pott's first win.
