My Favorite Sport Shot I Ever Took

While it isn't the greatest shot by any means, it's decent for me. But the real reason it's my favorite is because it's my horse coming in. Due to my ignorance I mistakenly bet a Pick3 for races 2, 3 and 4 when I thought I was betting a trifecta on the second race only. I would have lost the trifecta but my pick3 came in and this is the shot of my new favorite horse, La Grenouille making me $4k richer! Not bad for a $5 bet. Anyway, here's a few other shots from today:

Wow! Congrats on your happy accident payoff!

3 & 4 are my top picks of this set.

Nice series of photos, I like the higher angle on them, they are all clean photos, I like that you bottom loaded image 3, the fence and flowers makes for a nice background at the top. First one is really nice, even with the busy background, it works well with action on the track. The extra 4k is bonus.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun and was pretty happy with how the shots turned out. I rarely use my 70-200 and even more rarely do anything sports related so it was a fun challenge. Unfortunately most of the winnings is going to replace the water line in the front yard that is under about fifty foot of my driveway. I thought about doing a quick/easy fix for now but I may as well do it right and be done with it.
