The Track

Joe’s award winning photobook The Track, to grace the walls of the Pearl Street Gallery in Chelsea, MA

Horse and chariot racing has been practised in civilisations across the world since ancient times. In France, the first documented horse race was held in 1651 as the result of a wager between two noblemen. In 1935, Suffolk Downs Racetrack opened in Boston and 80 years later, it was sold to residential and retail developers. With live racing coming to an end and only a handful of days scheduled, I decided to photograph every remaining live race day that I could.

Before each race, Groomers walk their horses on the track to the paddock, where the horses will be on show until shortly before the start of the race, giving the crowd an opportunity to view them in motion and to see them saddled.

As post time grows nearer, colorfully clad Jockeys saddle up and take thei horses back to the track and on to the starting gate. This routine takes about 40 minutes, so I had the opportunity to photograph it many times over. At the end of the race, Jockeys return to Jockeys' Room, often covered with mud kicked up from the track and the sequence begins again with eight new horses. In between races, I turned my camera to the architectural details of the clubhouse, from a bygone era.
