Nice shot. I just wish you could have drawn them in closer with a longer lens.

Good rendering of the excitment of the race! Colours are perhaps a bit dull, could maybe increse contrast a bit. All this imo, obviously. Good luck!

Very nice shot. Its a very energetic photo! Did you try one tilting the camera in the same direction as the horses to give it extra visual impact?

Great shot. I used to live a mile or two from Keeneland and would go take pictures there, but that was before digital so I don't have any on line. Now I live in Bolivia. Good luck.

Having grown up in a city somewhat known for horse racing, this is a good image. Good capture of speed on the turn with the dirt flying, etc.

This is a great action shot. We can see the horses thundering down the curve of the track as their hooves pound into the ground kicking up dirt. As great as this shot is - timing is sometimes everything. To move this photo out of good to great a better shot would have been very similiar to this but it would be more closely cropped to the action AS Well AS capture the faces of the jockeys as they race towards the finish. The photo here has their faces mostly hidden behind the horses - it would really be great to see the looks and concentration of the jockeys as they spur their horse to the finishline.

Great movement and colors. I think an adjustment of curves would really deepen it up. The stop action is well captured.
