Rare note

Postby equestriandynamo » Mon May 18, 2009 6:29 am

I'm posting this for a friend who hasnt yet been able to have their account activated here, she is looking for the finish photos of his past races.
Does she have to contact the track or photographer?
or can she find them elsewhere?
She did get the lifesheet Lucy but i think she is interested in finding the pictures another way.. er... anyway:

"these are all the ones he won...

March 15, 2003 - Race 1 - Suffolk Down
June 22, 2002 - Race 4 - Calder Race Course
April 16, 2002 - Race 6 - Tampa Bay Downs

October 14, 2000 - Race 4 - Remington Park
March 22, 2000 - Race 1 - Oaklawn Park

She should call the racetrack and ASK for the photographer. She will be buying the photos directly from the photographer, not the racetrack, but they all have an office at the tracks. If by some chance, she already knows the name and city of the photographers for each track, she could bypass calling the track and contact them directly.

I've never known a photographer that didn't keep all of his photos, so she should be able to secure them for about $20 apiece with the details that you have listed, unless he's had a catastrophe with his files.
