Here are a few video samples, including an excerpt from "Night Watch," which won the national Eclipse Award in the audio/multimedia category in 2012, and "Inside Yearling Sales Prep," a four-part series commissioned by The Blood-Horse in 2014.

A trailer for a video series that introduced three unusual--and important--jobs associated with the Sport of Kings: the starters who actually spring the gate open for a race, the exercise riders who gallop the horses in their morning workouts, and the librarians who are preserving the sport's history at the Keeneland Library in Kentucky and the National Sporting Library in Virginia.
The first episode from the “Field Notes” series is about the people who start horse races and the starting gate crews who work with them to ensure every race gets a fair start. These people don't just press the button that starts a horse race. The folks on the starting gate also help train young horses, and they make up a close-knit team in one of the most unusual—and potentially dangerous—jobs in sports.

This video about 2011 Kentucky Oaks heroine Plum Pretty is one of a group of videos commissioned by The Blood-Horse magazine and website for its "Stars of the Oaks" series catching up with some great racemares after their retirement from the track. The series, available on YouTube, also featured videos we taped and produced about famed runners Rachel Alexandra, Silverbulletday, Blind Luck, and Ashado. Taping of Plum Pretty (and her famous pasture-mate Havre de Grace) took place at Timber Town Stable, one of the Bluegrass area's charming farms.
The assignment to produce a video about the great racehorse Rachel Alexandra took me to elegant Stonestreet Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, to meet a real equine celebrity. This video was one of five that The Blood-Horse commissioned for their "Stars of the Oaks" series, which looked at the current lives of some beloved past winners of the Kentucky Oaks. For that series, I also produced videos about Plum Pretty (above), Silverbulletday, Ashado, and Blind Luck. The complete series is available on The Blood-Horse's YouTube channel.
