Excellent job! I shot at Keenland 8 years ago and would love to do it again.

Another great horse gallery! and another vote! The final shot says it all, Big Smile for a Winning Gallery! brings back memories of watching a horse I bred run in Calif. Saw him break his maiden on the fair circuit...so exciting!
Retired from showing, I ride my 'soulmate' on the trails and she is my 'assistant' in getting some wildlife shots on the trails.http://www.pbase.com/cits_4_pets/wyndi

Pat--

Four's a Crowd is FANTASTIC is it captures my mare, Tambos Jazz Dancer to a tee. It was from this picture, which I found while I was searching for information on her prior to her purchase that I made my mind up that I had to have her. Your photos are fantastic! If you have any others of her from that day, I would love to see them. Would a copy of Four's a Crowd be available for purchase? It's lovely enough to frame (and it only took me five or six looks to find the fourth horse!!). Thank you!!!

Came across your gallery when I did a search on PBase for horse racing. Very glad I did. Horse racing is my own favourite form of photography and I have viewed countless photos on the internet and in the press. You have photos here, that in my opinion rank among the very best. Full of exciting action, sharp, colourful and with uncluttered backgrounds. Excellent work Pat. I like your style. You might like to have a look at my racing gallery at www.photo.net/photos/namurray. Kind regards, Neil

Hello Pat. I am not a racing fan.... but after viewing every photo in this gallery, I may become one. What a great portrayal. Every photo in this gallery is exciting and a sheer delight to view. Great work. All my best, Michael.
