(Virginia Derby Day 2026 / All Photos by Coady Media)

Editor’s Note:

Name a major racing event in these United States of America, and the expert team from Coady Media is likely to be there. Cameras poised. Eyes ready. Hands steady. And, action to capture for posterity and art’s sake.

Such was the case on Saturday when Colonial Downs hosted the Virgina Derby and the Virginia Oaks.

The crowds poured in.

The horses ran poured heart and soul.

The champagne, on ice, was poured in celebration.

And, the Coady Team caught it all. In all of its’ glory, too.

Here’s a few scenes from the day:
