wow....that was an excellent video...who put that together? It really portrays exactly what horse racing in baja is about, a family affair, a cultural event....the horse races here are definately one of my all time favorite activities to attend...so much to see...such excitement...super fun time...such beautiful animals and vaqueros!!! there is usually a live band playing at the races here...now I'm motivated to do a similar video at our next races.

here is a little clip from a race here

Super vid. Thank you for posting. That's a really nice track, what with the gate and actual rails. Not your average Baja chute. Good stuff.

Here's a pic of them racing in San Ignacio during last year's fiesta. Really exciting to watch, and plenty of betting going down on the sidelines too.

And other times of the year, they also race other critters on the same track - even more exciting!
