The Matlock Report

I had the privilege of attending the Cincinatti Open Tennis Tournament from August 8 – August 11 this year. It was a wonderful experience and a great event (even with the brutal heat). Over the next few days, I am going to post some pictures from the matches that I attended. I hope you enjoy them!

For a long time I’ve wanted to see what I could do with this camera and airplanes. For my first attempt at shooting, I managed to pick a day with the air quality was poor and smoke from wildfires somewhere were causing problems. Here’s a shot though, hopefully they get better from here.

Welcome to The Matlock Report! This blog will be my attempt at posting some fun pictures while I learn to use this camera. I’ll try to post pictures that are fun or interesting… mostly horse racing but I’ll have some other pictures from time to time as well.

Let’s start this out the right way! 10 Year old Dickie Bob, a Jason Olmstead trainee, made what will almost certainly be his last appearance at Canterbury Park (Shakopee, MN) on Wednesday, June 18 in an Optional Claiming event at 250 yards. Dickie Bob drew post 8 and ran in the 8th race. Coincidence? I think not. Dickie Bob covered the 250 yards in 13.265 seconds with Ramiro Garcia in the pilot seat. Canterbury patrons hadn’t seen free money like this since the Dale Schenian (City Auto Glass) company parties of old. Hopefully you collected the easiest $6.20 for a $2 Win wager that you may ever find!

Dickie Bob making his victory move!
