For those of you who do not understand the title. Racehorses are commonly named after their mothers and fathers. In this case his daddy is 'Diabolical' (and you can imagine why he got his name!) and his mommy is 'Practitioner'. Now the 'Curse' part could mean anything.
There have been a number of famous race horses who have had movies made about them and had their name used as the title of the movie. Phar Lap and Seabiscuit are two of the most famous.
Thank you to everyone that commented. I agree that the left should have been cropped. I had done a few other possible entries before this one and I had cropped them much closer. I was running out of time before submission (and did this one last) and just forgot to do the final cropping. Ugh!

Took me a moment to see how the title fit, but now that I see it, very creative. Nice shot - good contrast and DOF. Could perhaps be composed a bit better. Perhaps a tight crop on the horse and jockey?
this is an interesting shot..it looks like it could be a still from a film shoot for sure...
your title is definitely going to throw people for a loop..
Kind of reminds me of the beautiful movie Seabiscuit. Nice shot, though I feel that it's a bit too dark on some places. Good choice for black and white.
