Pasos De Orgullo (Steps of Pride)
Title
Pasos De Orgullo (Steps of Pride)
Description
On the backstretch, men and women. Many from Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, and beyond. Walk the horses with care passed down through generations. Their hands reflect the knowledge of family traditions, where working with animals was part of daily life.
Here, far from the grandstand’s spotlight, they honor that heritage with every step. Cooling, calming, and protecting the horses, they form the unseen heart of racing. Where culture, skill, and quiet pride keep the track’s rhythm alive.
