Such a calm, relaxed shot. Even the horses look at ease. Nice angle too.

i love that you included so much bg in this one. great colors. it's got that nice morning, behind-the-scenes feel to it. is that the shadow of the grandstand falling on the track?

Thanks! I wanted to really capture the atmosphere of the moment. How on earth do jockeys remain so calm before a race?
And yep, that's the grandstand!

i actually asked our driver in saratoga if he was nervous before our race. he just laughed. said we were more nervous than he was. he says you win some you lose some and after driving so many horses it's routine.

i have to say i think this is one of your best shots. you've captured such a perfect moment between the two riders and their horses, how the one man is just readching over to touch the racehorse. Not to mention, the lighting on this shot is incredible, and the focus is pretty darn perfect too! Keep up your amazing work, I cannot wait to see more!
