Photographer’s Note
Flying to the victory...
Shot taken in the finish of the horses race at the Vincennes hippodrome near Paris yesterday.
Vincennes hippodrome
Established in 1863 and designed for racing obstacles, the Hippodrome de Vincennes was largely destroyed during the war of 1870.
Completely rebuilt in 1879, when it hosts its first racing trot - this second mission will be good: the Hippodrome de Vincennes is now a leader among all racecourses trot coupled and mounted the world and the reputation of its programme, foremost among which the famous Price of America, is international.
Initiated in 1976, catering and complete overhaul of the racetrack are one of the most modern and functional for business to the public, a passion for the races that take place there more than 750 000 entrances to the racecourse are recorded every year! In addition to the two tracks and platforms external and internal, a giant screen of 118 m2, unique in Europe, and a video network interior have been constructed.
Spaces restoration and relaxation, can accommodate about 2000 visitors, complete to make this place one of the great temples of trotting.

Bonsoir Olivier
superbe qualité de la photo. J'aime beaucoup la netteté sur le cheval et sur le jockey et le moment où tu as déclenché avec les 4 pattes du cheval en l'air. Belle image;

Salut Olivier
Bon cadrage de cette course.
Image un peu chargée avec l'arrière-plan mais fallait montrer quand même ce bus.
Tu me donne une intéressante idée pour essayer de faire un suivi en panoramique sur une scène dynamique, je ne garantis pas que ça va marcher.
Amitiés
