Look at the expression on the guy who ultimately jumped up and tore off the blindfold:

I like how in the first picture one of the starters covers the eyes of Regal Ransom. "Nothing to see here!"

How about Midshipman in the Cigar Mile? He'd be a major handful.

He was a actually a pretty patient subject and came right to his stall door and stood for a long time with his ears up. I think I took like 40 pictures. He's built like a tank.

Thanks for posting this! I won QR's Breeders Cup halter in an auction at The Second Race (horse rescue group) and wanted to put it in a shadow box along with this photo. I've been looking all over for it and knew I saw it somewhere - DerbyTrail has everything! Thanks Sightseek!
