What a day for horse racing in Fort Pierre!
Fort Pierre Horse Racing took place on Saturday, October 3, at the Stanley County Fairgrounds, and once again, our community showed up in a BIG way.
A huge shout-out to Shane Kramme for putting together another outstanding day of racing. The crowd was incredible, the weather was nearly perfect, and the track was full of excitement.
They say it takes a village, but I think it takes an entire community to pull off an event like this. So many people work behind the scenes, before, during, and after race day, to make everything happen. Thank you to every volunteer, sponsor, organizer, participant, and supporter who played a part.
And to everyone who packed the Stanley County Fairgrounds, thank you for coming out and supporting South Dakota horse racing! Days like this remind me just how special our Fort Pierre community is.
Finally, a very special thank you to my husband, Tim Jones, who spends race day right alongside me as my second shooter. Photographing an event this big is no small job, and I would hate to have to do it without him. I am pretty lucky to have a partner willing to spend the day hauling camera gear, chasing the action, and helping me capture it all.
Great racing. Great crowd. Great community - Please be sure to Tag and Share with anyone you know!
Until next year, Fort Pierre!
