If you knew the old account, or if someone shared this with you — I'd really appreciate a retweet. Not for vanity. Just to get back in front of people who actually care about racing photography.

Starting over at zero is humbling. Every follow genuinely means something this time around. #アーモンドアイ #賽馬 #競馬 #HorseRacing

I'll continue to post racing photography from AU and HK — Group 1s, track work, the quiet stuff between races that most people never see. The atmosphere. The people. The light when it does something unexpected.

Sometimes I'll explain how or why I took a shot. Other times I'll just let the image sit. #嘉應高昇 #HKracing #HorseRacing

It's all happening in New York!!

Saturday is the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga. Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will be racing! 🏇

I was very fortunate to be asked to design this special commemorative card for his connections. I love designing major race winners, and I was thrilled when they loved it and wanted extra copies printed to hand out to fans and kids at the track this weekend!

Of course I want more people to know about our indie cards! So if you’re heading to the track on Saturday, keep an eye out — you might just spot one in the hands of a little racing fan.

Wishing Golden Tempo and everyone a fantastic day of racing! ❤️

I have no words to describe this feeling… After all those years of traveling to find the best place, to find a champion like him…
I finally found it and I am more than thankful for it! 🙏🏼
The first of many I am sure 💪🏼

Three ideas I have had bubbling in my mind... just not quite ready to implement yet...

1. Offer any and all GR1 winning owners an offer of a FREE card/cards... in exchange to sell a limited number of said card to the public.

2. Bring in some other artists to collaborate and create more selection/designs

3. Offer a good profit share to photographers that want to collaborate using their best images to create projects

All 3 can scale the business... if done right. ✔️

[Donald Lee @LeeMingDonald]

Great to hear Bartie Leisher is mentioned in the top 10! Won all major races and became the champion jockey during his short stint in HK.
