Pictures from Panama Day 2

PANAMA CITY, PANAMA – Headed out to morning works today, got to the track a little after six. All the guys are convinced it was too late, so tomorrow we’re leaving the hotel at five. Was the only female (of the human variety) on the backside. All exercise riders, grooms, jockeys, trainers, are male. Didn’t bother me, just interesting to note.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the morning.
