| Events and Clinics - Seattle Post Intelligencer Posted: 23 Sep 2009 05:57 PM PDT .... or Adventures in Amateur Photography The last time I went to Emerald Downs for the Longacres Mile was in 2006, not long after moving to Seattle. Fresh from New York, even the big name shippers from California were unfamiliar to me, and I didn't have much sense of connection to all the hoopla. On Sunday, though I knew that Laffit Pincay, Jr., Hall of Fame jockey, would be at the track. He was in town to serve as honorary steward for the Mile, to sign copies of his newly released biography, Laffit, Anatomy of a Winner, and to pay a special visit to an old friend " but that's tomorrow's post. Let's just say things had changed a bit since he won the Mile 26 years ago with Chinook Pass at Longacres Racetrack in Renton. Some things were different for me too. After nearly four years in the Pacific Northwest, I knew enough names and a few faces at Emerald Downs to anchor me as a local. at least when it came to playing cheerleader. There would be no trips to the window because my priority was to capture the day. Practice, practice, practice Not absolutely all of it though " I know the limits of my stamina. Since the weather was glorious, we were relegated to distant parking lot 9 and the jockeys were filing into the paddock for the fourth race by the time we made it through the gate. I am already staking things out for the feature race. While the camera angle from the spot by the jockey's entrance provides a broad view, by race 8 things would be different. We were still warming up, anyway. There was no need to rush through a crowd loaded with food and beverages at this point. We waited until the jockeys were up, and found a spot along the rail midway down the stretch. I wasn't the only one there with camera in hand. I woman was leaning forward over the rail next to me. "I'm trying to get the shadows," she said to her companion. I glanced to the right. It was a nice idea, but a bit premature to execute. I took this picture for her later. The Emerald Distaff Handicap The Mile was not the only big race that day. With a purse of $100,000, the Emerald Distaff Handicap drew mostly local fillies and mares, with a couple shipping in from Hastings and a California. I had no intention of trying to pick a winner, but I couldn't help focusing on two in the paddock: Elusive Horizon, the favorite, because she looked ready to race, and Gadget Queen, simply becauseI liked the name, and she had won a race 5 back with Film Editor running second and Bootleg Anni third. Besides, she was a local horse, and that was the angle of the day. These two also helped me determine that as the paddock was getting more crowded, the best view was actually up on the bleachers. Plus we got to see the flower garland being escorted up the stairs. The Distaff was a mile and an eighth, so we had a good view of the start were we were standing well down the stretch. The sprinter in the race, Shezaluckypenny, looked smashing as she charged by. But by the time they came past us again, Elusive Horizon appeared to have the race in her pocket. Then, up the outside, a bay horse came to challenge. As they passed us, I thought Gadget Queen might get the race, but Elusive Horizon fought back to keep the win. Good thing I hadn't actually bet based on my impulse. Could it really be a dead heat? Anyway, it was time to get more serious. The next race was going to be a dress rehearsal for the Mile. Sponsored by Emirates Airways, this was a one-mile allowance race for $30,000, one-tenth of the purse for the big race. We skipped the paddock so we could fortified ourselves with track food and the hovered by the rail to see where the best photo opportunities would be. The gate crew did their publicity work too, posing in jackets that said Fly Emirates on the back. I guess that was directed at the California shippers, as Emirates does not fly to Seatac " yet, anyway. Or maybe it was an inexpensive way to get this shot. Promotional fluff aside, the race turned out to be an exciting one. I also learned that I might want to take the camera off of autofocus for the finish line picture. My neighbor at the rail asked, "did you see who got it?" "Photo finish for sure," I replied, studying my own blurry version, "could be a dead heat." My husband got an anxious email from his friend who had Tritium, the 4 horse. "Dead Heat" flashed on the screen, meaning both horses would pay to win. Unusual, but not as rare as a triple dead heat. The plus side was, I had a little longer to see if I could get any shots from outside the winner's circle, as each horse gets its own win picture. The Big Kahuna Now the Mile was upon us. As we hotfooted it back to the paddock, the storylines of the horses were highlighted by the track announcer. Wasserman, last year's winner, was trying again. After a winless year, he had the luck of drawing the 2 post, and he went out in the colors of his owner and trainer Howard Belvoir, with Debbie Whittaker in the irons again. His hotter stablemate, Assessment, was stuck on the far outside at 12, from where there had been only one winner in the history of the Longacres Mile, and that was 74 years ago. Then were those who carried extra weight in the form of a name. Trumpet Player Jay, the 4 horse, is named after the racetrack trumpeter from Santa Anita, who was there to cheer on his namesake and contribute a few performances of his own, and Autism Awareness, the 5 horse was named by owner Johnny Taboada to draw attention to a condition that has affected his family. Local sprinter Atta Boy Roy was also a popular choice, but Gallon, another local sent out by Jim Penney, looked to be leaving his race in the paddock. He was plunging up and down between his two handlers like he was spring loaded, and his neck was dark with sweat. The Calfornia invaders with the big Beyer numbers looked the part, particularly Sierra Sunset, in the 10 post. Awesome Gem, the 7, had run mostly at longer distances, but he was the favorite heading out on to the track, and my husband proclamined these two his picks to a friend via his iphone, challenging his pick of Atta Boy Roy. Of course, we had no time to go to the windows. It was probably already too late to get a good spot on the rail. I did my best New York weave through the throngs, going to the outside where there was less traffic, and saw a slim opening along the rail, wide enough to get my shoulder and lens through. It was a bit too close, but I could at least see the first six horses in my frame. Now we just had to wait. Because of the mile distance, this was also an excellent spot for a final look at the post parade before the gate was rolled out and put into place. By the time the horses were brought up to the gate, I had my camera focused and locked off, and a steady supporting elbow on the rail. Then disaster struck. An official photographer strolled out at the last minute and began her own setup. I leaned to the right. At least I could get the first five horses. Then she shifted her haunches once more. Blocked entirely. Then a voice of an angel spoke in my right ear. "Do you want to trade places?" The two women next to me swapped places and now I had a clear view, just in time for the final horse, Assessment, to load into the gate.
They were off like a flash, with Atta Boy Roy and Crafty Power, another fast starter, going out for the lead. But there was another flash of speed " Gallyn Mitchell, the 47 year old jockey for Assessment, holds the track record for wins at Emerald Downs, and he was going to shoot for a good trip even if it meant using his horse early to overcome his unlikely post position. There's no big screen at Emerald Downs, so we had to rely on the track announcer's call until they emerged from behind the boards and began rolling through the turn. The first quarter had been blindingly fast, at 21-4/5seconds, and the half at 44. Those are sprint speeds, and I thought perhaps Wasserman could close on the leaders. But it was clear by the stretch that it was his stablemate who had a better shot today. The punishing early fractions undid Atta Boy Roy, and he was passed by Assessment and then Awesome Gem. It was Assessment who was the clear winner, with Teide, a Hastings Park horse, and Awesome Gem, in a photo for second, and Wasserman finishing fourth. Gallyn Mitchell was clearly on an emotional high to match that of Calvin Borel winning the Kentucky Derby with Mine That Bird, and the crowd in the winners circle matched his mood. Family came first " his wife Denise held up his son for a smooch. Owner Tice was next, and the whole winners circle practically became a group hug. Shades of Miles Past At the center of the whirl, Laffit Pincay stood smiling graciously. If he felt a twinge of regret for past glories, he was too much of a warrior to show it. And there were plenty who still sought him out. After posing for pictures in the winners circle, Laffit Pincay was waylaid once more. I was standing with John Loftus, author of the Chinook story. We watched as a young man offered all he had for a signature. Not a book, nor a program, just his forearm. I foresaw some arguments over bathtime in his future, but Pincay graciously inscribed his arm with all the usual flourishes, as though it would remain forever. When John saw that, he offered to take a picture of the boy, his father and sister with the famous jockey. After a moment of small talk, Laffit Pincay rushed off to the next stop on his press tour. Now there was a little problem. Did they have email, John asked. The boy turned to his father and translated, then shook his head. After a few more exchanges, it was determined that the boy's father worked at the track, and another bystander jumped in to provide pencil and paper so that the souvenir photo could be mailed. And so we hopped the shuttle back to the car, debating whether Lot 9 was Inner or Outer Siberia, calculating whether the expenses of the day were offset by the money we had escaped losing, and reflecting on the kindness of strangers.
