I managed to get a little closer and get a shot of this group of horses and jockeys attacking this hurdle.

I remember seeing the Derby on TV when I was a kid, but I haven't been seeing it for years, sadly. The details are amazing in this shot Bev, the horses alone speaks for themselves. Again your timing is spot on, and despite the speed you managed to maintain a great sharpness. Beautiful work

Lol! Thank you once again for your valuable comments and Editors Pick! One thing i noticed at these small fence races, there was no injuries or accidents (That day), but i cant watch the Grand National, as i feel the horses are pushed beyond their limits, and every year so many fantastic horses are slaughtered due to falling and breaking bones, or severly injuring themselves so they are no good for the race world anymore.....very sad.
