Photographer's Note
I took this photo at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Californina. Santa Anita opened its doors on December 25, 1934. It opens anually for daily racing on December 26 and the season runs through late April. Portions of the 2003 movie Seabiscuit were filmed at this track.
The jockey in this photo is Casey Fusilier and he is riding Muddy Halo down the home strecth to a decisive victory in the first race of the day.

Very beautiful motion pic. The details of muscles on the horse are great. And what a sharp result with a nice DOF ! I really love it, congratulations.

A very fine action photograph. Shows both jockey & horse in sharp detail.

Great Shot. Color is crisp and detail is sharp.
Looks like all 4 legs are off the ground too - must be flying.
