Thanks for the thank you's. Much appreciated.
Bill was at the rail near the clocker's stand. I checked out the stable area to see what Shaun was wearing and then ran (fast walked) over to Bill to give him a head's up, "Red shirt, red helmet with black pompom." The fog was sporatic - the track was covered, then it cleared a bit, then it covered. Visibility when Rachel came out of the fog was about 150' - then she went back into the fog. There were about a dozen photographers at the rail - many of them missed the opportunity because the window of opportunity was so small and they didn't realize it was her. If I hadn't clued Bill in on the colors we had to look for, he very well could have missed the work, as well. Actually, he was able to get 22 images. I just posted the best of the lot. If I can haul him out of bed at 4:30 a.m. again, we'll try to get some more pics of another work.. I hope someone can get pics of her at Monmouth. There definitely is a difference of opinion on the meanings of handily (in hand) and breezing. The consensus of opinion is that breezing is the easier work in spite of all the equine definition sourcess I've found that say handily is. DRF indicates that breezing is the easier work. Each day - confused on a higher level.
