With gratitude and love for my mother, Nancy Clark Thorkildsen (1932 - 2011), who motivated and inspired me more than words could say.
Barbara, were you around when the great Gloria's Song raced at Belmont? She was from Canada--Stronach's great race mare and great broodmare. Memories...Tina
|

WOW; this is an amazing tribute that my son Tim would have enjoyed so very much. This world also lost my beautiful Son and my precious Dad in 2011. (Tim on 9/26 & Daddy on 11/8) My Tim "Tiznow" Reynolds was such an admirer of these beautiful animals as true athletes, and had a DRF hat that was even taken to the Breeders Cup by a dear friend, in his memory. He would have loved this tribute and would have been honored to share it as I am now, in his place. Please know that I extend my deepest sympathy, in the loss of your dear Mother. That picture portrays what a beautiful soul she must have been! sending many prayers~Alice

Incredible tribute...all those souls forever remembered and beautifully captured.
I am especially touched by the last photo...of your Mom. She was absolutely beautiful.
|
|
Behind every great woman, is another great woman! Thank you for sharing your memories of your mother, and her influence! I am very sorry for your loss! I know she must be beaming with pride at everything you do! I know I am in awe of your work, and thank you for bringing so much greatness into our homes with your powerful photos!
|
|
Sometime, there are no words, only tears.
|
|
Thank you for sharing the album of thees beautiful animals. I too have lost my Mother, and in 20 years it still is felt. Her legacy is you, and I think you do her proud. Keep caring, it's what you do.
|
|
Hi Barbara,
Thank you for sharing the lovely picture of your mother. How lucky you were to have her nurturing and supporting your interests. What a marvelous success you have achieved with your great eye for photographing the most beautiful being on the planet - the Horse!
Thank you for the spectacular photographic Memoriam of those who have left us. Some were much, much too young to go. So many unknowns have left us as well. They ask for so little and give so much to us unworthy humans. My heart broke when Devil May Care died. I had seen her race at Belmont. She was lovely, had a winners attitude that was priceless. I was happy to see the wonderful pictures of D'Accord. He looked so handsome and full of life. I'm glad I saw him face-to-face in 2009. He was such a big guy and quite handsome in his old age. Each and every one of them was so gorgeous and brave.

Thanks for such a good tribute to all these wonderful animals. They will be
truely missed and will never be forgotten. My sympathy goes out to you with
the loss of your mother. She will always be with you.
|
|
Your work is absolutely beautiful and very much appreciated for your tribute to these wonderful athletes.
I knew a couple of them but all of them are beautiful.
Thank-you for following your mom's inspiration, you will always have her with you , with your work.
Sincerely,
Gayla Lawson(Horse Race Fan Lover)

Wonderful pictures ... Bold Executive was one of my favourites...sad subject but you have captured their spirits and for that thank you.
|
|
My deepest sympathy to you at the loss of your mother. I too know how you feel :( Time heals but the mind and heart never forget.
The loss of Wilderness Song made me catch my breath, she and Dance Smartly are close to my heart. As a Canadian, I followed their careers closely and met them in person in '92 in Ocala. It was an amazing experience. Dance Smartly definitely had the look of eagles.
Do you have any pictures of her and other Canadian horses you could post?
I absolutely love your work, you definitely have a gift.
They are all beautiful horses !!! You're right Anthony many are gone toooo soon.
|
|
your work is obviously a labor of love. beautiful shots of wondrous animals. strike te gold has always had my heart. thank you.
|
|
This was a stunning testimonial to the many great thoroughbreds that have graced our lives. A worthy tribute. Thank you for your efforts in putting this together for all to see.
|
|
Wow, so many great ones passed over the last year. I'm sure it is that way every year, but this year seems especially significant with the loss of Miesque, Rahy, and Indian Charlie.
|
|
I Love all the Pictures ! They Touch My Heart ! All of them are running free in Heaven! Thank you for all your lovely work !
|

Hello,
I find this to be a wonder tribute with so many great runners. It was half-way thru and I realized that you had gone in alphabetical order. Aurora was a heck of horse to start with however you look at it. I saw her run at Saratoga one afternoon, I think, in 1992. The years they do fly.
Anyway, it was the end of this day and I was dead even with a drive ahead of me. Suddenly I fell on her pedigree power for an up-coming mile on the inner-turf. I was out back under the trees and I look up and there is Julie Krone out in the back Jockey “Garden” and she was to ride Aurora and had “that look". When they left the walking ring the look was still there. Well, Aurora just smoked the field that day with every pole a winning one in like 1:34 flat. It was a fun day.
Aurora was a real Champ in my mind.
Thanks again for this tribute.

Barbara~
A beautiful tribute. Again, I'm so sorry for your personal loss ~ your dear mother.
|
|
Barbara - Thank you so much (as always) for sharing your wonderful photos. You have many fans and friends who greatly appreciate your talents. Please keep the pictures and stories coming; we ALL love them!

P.S. - My "handle" comes from my love of turf racing, and not some illegal substance. Please take care!

|
Beautiful tribute from a great archive.
|
|
beautifully done and so sorry for your loss of your mom
When I was a child I was told,during summer storms,thunder was the angels bowling. These days I prefer to think of thunder as the sound of the the magnificent herd up there running free across the heavens and lighting as sparks coming from their hooves What a beautiful sight it would be
|
|
Exquisite.........as always.
I am so sorry about your mom. You captured her the same way you do the thoroughbreds, with grace and charm.
|
|
Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos. You are truly a gifted artist and capture the best of the horses and humans you photograph.
|
|
Thank you for sharing this with us. I wish there were more sights that would honor their lost ones. My sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. I know how it feels. Thank you again for sharing.
|
|
Hi Barbara,
It was sad to lose so many of " our friends" . I am very sorry about the passing of your mom. Thanks for your incredible blogs of photos that you shared with us througout the year !!!
|
|
Barbara, please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your beautiful Mother.
GORGEOUS photos and GORGEOUS tribute to all those who are much missed.
Galen and Chocolate Candy are together again :(
|
|
Beautiful montage. I'm late to racing, but always loved horses. Don't know why Inherit the Gold made me tear up. Glitterman too. So sorry to hear about your mom. Presently trying my hardest to take care of my own mom. I know how hard it can be. God Bless
|
|
Strike The Gold.........he took my heart with him...
|
|
Thanks so much Barbara for all the beautiful pictures. As an Alydar fan, the losses this year were many, so lots of tears shed looking at the pictures of Aurora, Chocolate Candy, Strike the Gold and Unbridled Jet.
RIP to all, especially those who were far, far too young.
My condolences to you and your family on the loss of you mother.
|
|
Where is Cloud Man? Also, your mother is beautiful and you look just like her!
|
|
A great tribute to all these fine horses, and especially your mom; so sorry for your loss.
|
|
Just beautiful! Too many are gone too soon. I didn't know Chocolate Candy and Kensei had left us, so I am stunned. Thank you for caring so much about something I love. Your mother obviously did her duty exceptionally well as a mother. Well done beautiful ladies.
|
|
I will certainly be pouring out some liquor for my homies! Wonderful photos, thank you.
|
|
Beautiful as usual, thank you.
I am sorry for the loss of your mother.
Sad to see so many young horses gone too soon. I'm sure their people miss them. I, luckily, haven't lost one in a very long time (knock on wood).
|
|
Barbara, you never cease to amaze us all with your fantastic pictures, and your true love for the beauty and grace of the thoroughbred. in my 13 years working with them, i have grown, not only to respect them, but to love their unwavering desire to please us at all cost. Thank you and keep that camera rolling.
|
|
I agree with George & Wendy and probably the rest of the comments. You do such great work!

|
|
So sorry about your mother. Thank you for all these touching photos . My heart stopped at the close up of Chief Seattle. His beautiful deep brown eye was what made me fall for him. Wish I could buy a print of Chief.
|
|
Barbara,
I've enjoyed your work for a number of years. It's fitting that you dedicate it to your mother. Bless you.
|
|
Hi Barbara,
Year end "In Memoriam"s can be difficult, and this had to have been as well.
But your piece is so lovingly stunning.
Thanks, as always.
(so many favorites)
|
|
This is simply beautiful but everything you do is beautiful. So sad to see so many youngsters on this list. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. I lost my Mom too recently so I know what a huge void it leaves.
|
|
Thank you for these beautiful photographic tributes. Some gone too soon from this life. I am sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. You are an incredible tribute to her love and kindness.
|
|
Thank you for so beautifully honoring those we have lost. What a loving, beautiful portrait of your mom, also. I am sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how proud she is of you and these great blogs which bring so much pleasure to so many of us honor her as well. Thank you.
|
|
What about mentioning Majic Dot. Brood mares deserve love also.
>
|
|
Some of them were so young......
|
|
I am so sorry about your mom. Picture her with these wonderful beauties until you meet again. She must be so proud of you and all you do.
|
|
Barbara- each photo is so evocative. Thank you for posting these. The one of Meese Rocks following a win, with all the hands on him, is beyond words. And the lovely shot of Rahy, a big horse in a small package who will always hold a piece of my heart.
|
|
Some on the list had snuck by me. I'm always most struck by their power, grace and nobility. A reminder to us all I suppose that we should stop and savor the special things we are given each day.
Can it be 9 years since I watched Najran smoke an allowance field at the Spa. He had Nickie drooling after the race.
Aurora - that's some tail female line. Althea and Courtly Dee. She was so special.
Glitterman could really ramble.
The dedication was very touching.
The last photo is actually beyond words I can find.
Thank you.
|
|
As always you capture these beautiful creatures so wonderfully, I especially love the on of Two Punch and of your mother, both so serene
|
|
Your photo always touch the heart. These ones are extra special. You mother was a beautiful woman. Thanks Barbara.
|
|
I am sorry for loss of your mom. I know how proud she is of you and also thank you for sharing these great blogs which bring so much pleasure to so horse lovers just like me. Thank you for sharing such beautiful horses, honoring them and feel sorry for their loss, some on their younger years.
Can I take this opportunity to ask your permission to feature some of your photos of great horses captured in your lenses. I know for a fact that those photos are for sale, I might be a help on the sale of those photos here in the Philippines. I'll be coming out with a publication and featuring great horses would be one of the highlights of the said publication.
There's no horse racing and breeding publication circulating here (Philippines) to chronicle such great horses, hope I can aid you in the sale by featuring them in low res photos in my publication and when interested buyer comes in I would be referring them to you or to your website and will make arrangements on how it can be done with regards to the costs which inlcude the shipment.
Hope we can talk more about it.
Again thanks for sharing with us your great work with great horses now and then.
God bless and more power!

Absolutely beautiful. Especially Jade Hunter, as well as Awad, Polish Navy and Glitterman, some of our favorites at Old Friends in Georgetown, and Fleet Indian across the street at Summerwind. Thanks so much for putting this together.
|
|
Beautiful pics as always. Beautiful tribute.I m with you.
|
|
Dear Miss Barbara,
You are such a credit to your craft. Each photo reveals the greatness and breathtaking beauty of the Thoroughbred that so many of us hold in such esteem. The last two photos make me well up inside as I think of my own mother (1930-1996), and riding off into the sunset.
Thank you so much,
Gloria.
|
|
Words cannot express how sorry I am to see you lost your Mom. I lost my Mom a few years ago and time does not remove the space that remains in my heart when you lose a parent. Your photos were wonderful. I did not know until recently that Chief Seattle was gone, or Glitterman. I remember rushing to the track from work to see Miesque run. She was wonderful at everything they asked her to do, what a loss.
|
|
Very beautiful display of photos, wish you would have or could still include "Fort Hughes" who was one of the fastest, if not the fastest 2-3 yr old, and was just gearing up for his 3yr old campaign when he tragically broke down in April during a workout in NY.....Hope u can make amends to his destiny unspoken...Don
< Hi Don,
The tribute was intended for horses I actually photographed, and I unfortunately did not get the chance to see Fort Hughes. The Thoroughbred Times apparently has a long list of every TB's death that they learned about in their year-end issue, which is great for racing fans for a look-back at those they loved.
I wish I'd had the chance to see Fort Hughes. I remember his brilliance and had looked forward to seeing him.
Thanks for your interest. - Barbara >
|
|
A beautiful tribute and they will live forever through your photographs. Beautiful picture of you Mom and thank goodness she motivated and inspired you. It's always a terrible loss to lose a mother but you will meet again.....
|
|
So sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Must have made this so much more difficult for you.
D'Accord was a favorite of mine and you've captured him beautifully. This son of Secretariat looked nothing like his Dad but he did have his imperious manner. What a lot we've lost this year and most of them were far too young.
Continue to do what you're doing taking these beautiful photos and making people smile when they look at these beautiful creatures.
May 2012 be good to you and good to the horses.
|
|
Great pictures and very nice tribute. Here also is to all the other warriors (Claimers, allowance horses, etc) that gave there lives for our sport. Beautiful creatures.
|
|
beautiful horses ----------------many gone to soon
|
|
How beautiful and heart breaking. I almost made it with just a few tears, until the last photo. Barbara, you haven't lost your Mother, she is part of you - in your humor and spirit. I know she is proud of you. Someday you will see her again. ..... Thank-you for the photo of Strike The Gold. I travel to Turkey often and it was always one of my goals to stop by and visit him BUT I put it off one too many times and missed my chance for good and ever. There's a lesson in that. Another wonderful, from the heart entry - you never fail to do that! Take care.
|
|
Too young--too many and too young. Such beautiful horses...
|
|
thank you for the courage to share thes memories. may god bless you and may god bless your mom, may she rest in peace.
|
|
Hi (again),
I love the photo of Tejano Run at, err, Hialeah Park - Home of the Flamingo Stakes - but I think your 1995 photo wants to have Tejano Run (1992-2011) as your link reveals:
Tejano Run (KY)
Ch, h, foaled May 5, 1992.
Thanks (again), as I see more new and interesting photos, it seems this commemorative grows and thrives. H

|
|
Beautiful tribute--but what about all the beautiful TBs that were not "winners" that ended up dying in Mexican and Canadian slaughter houses!!!!!
|
|
Thanks...May your mom walk in the Light until you meet again.
|
|
Of these, I always enjoyed Dancing Spree and followed his career. But the pictures of North of Eden and D'Accord are my favorites. I remember when D'Accord ran at Arlington and was heavily favored, maybe 2/5. Jerry Bailey fell off at the start.
|

Barbara, Sorry to hear about your MotherPassing Away..... may she R. I. P.
These great HORSE'S & your great LOVING PICTURES of them.
Thanks, for Posting . George Holter ^ ^

Miss you KENSEI...so much heart.

Dear Barbara:
Beautiful photos. All will be missed.
So sorry for your personal loss. JB
|
|
Too many, too sad..... fortunate that their memory will live on, captured by your lens. Your mom was beautiful - and your work is quite a testament to her influence in your life, she must have been so very proud. Thank you for sharing. RIP all.
|
|
Hugs to you Barbara - I am sure this was a difficult tribute to put together.... so many beautiful friends lost this past year. Love the picture of your Mom - you are a tribute to her.....
|
|
Awesome pictures and memories. My condolences to you and your family on the passing of your mother.
|
|
Lots I could comment on, but wanted to particularly thank you for the shot of Chocolate Candy and Galen. It was a pleasure to get to know both of them a little when they came for the Belmont. Such a shame.
|
|
Can't thank you enough for these beautiful photos. I'm especially touched to see the close up Chief Seattle's deep brown beautiful eye
|
|
Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos. Your tribute to your mother was a very nice addition.
|
|
all those beauties, including your wonderful Mom.
|
|
damn Barb,,,,as if this wasn't tear inducing enough,,,,then I see your wonderful Mom's photo also. So many gone too soon. RIP to all.

A lovely tribute, but geez does some of it hurt. Big Bear :(

As always, beautiful and clearly from the heart.

Best Bets
MUTINY was claimed from seventh straight loss, and returned eight weeks later to beat a dozen rivals in best effort since last July; back to dirt and back with Rosie Napravnik after turf try on short rest. RUFFINO probably won't match 92 Beyer earned last time on this track last fall, but grizzled old pro got back in win column recently, when claimed by savvy owner-trainer; second in '09 Empire Classic over sloppy going here. HILL CROSSING has been freshened since Mar. 18 score second off the claim that earned best figure since daylight win here last summer; needs fast footing.
