A very good action shot as this beautiful horse and rider are doing their cool down trot. Very good focus, frame to show the No. 5 details.

I love horses and you have captured some beautiful motion of the horses gait and emotional impact of finishing the race. Lovely colours and framing of horse and rider. Nice work!

Excellent, nice stop action shot, with great technique and focus on the rider and jockey, with a nice slightly blurred background. Thanks for sharing.

Another nice and well framed photo. Good job catching the horse mid stride. You are able to see some of the musculature of the horse, some of the sheen on its coat. I think you did a great job capturing this beautiful animal and it's rider.
