Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF 28-135mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Location: Phoenix Dog Track
Date: May 24, 2009
Aperture: f 5.6

The big event at the dog races (and the reason I really went to the races) was the Weiner Mania. These weiner dog races were held to raise money for the Adopt a Greyhound Org.

I really wanted to enter this image, but wimped out on the more DPC friendly one.

What a classic shot. The dirt flying really shows the energy.

How did I miss this shot. Love it!!!....many, many years ago I owned half interest in several dogs. I lived at the track. Multnomah Kennel Club here in Portland. As years went by racing just went down hill. We had one of the finest tracks in the country, it's closed in 2004. The fans pretty much stop coming in the 90's P.L. Greer made me a lot of money back in the day....Lol.

I've very pleased this did well! You REALLY captured the action well here, from the flying sand to the intensity in the dogs' eyes and their varying strides which show such power. Excellent image, well edited, and congrats on a new top row entry!

This is a very action filled shot! I had trouble making out a defined form for the dog in red. I have no idea why. The background seems a little weird with all of that spray being sharpened even though it's somewhat in the bokeh.
