Foursome

Left to Right: El Segundo, Pompeii Ruler, Sea Change and Miss

Finland, level pegging two furlongs from home. El Segundo won the

Group 1, CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield.

Love it!!! Action in sports photography makes the shot, and you have absolutely nailed it. Did you crop it by any chance?

Thanks Nathan. Yes I did crop it. It was the first shot in a panned sequence before El Segundo passed the other three. I just liked the four together, so I cropped in. Fortunately the focus and clarity were OK. Kind regards, Neil

Ilike the foursome!

So clear and sharp.

 

Your photo really captures the excitement of the close race....who won!? The caps remind me of wonderful Easter egg colors. It's fascinating to me that out of all those legs and hooves only one is on the ground at that decisive moment.

Thanks Susan. The one on the left outside, El Segundo, ended up winning quite easily. It was a A$300,000 race and a lead up to some really big prize money for the autumn carnival races here. Kind regards, Neil

Thanks very much Ulrika. Kind regards, Neil

Perfectly done, great crop and it's a very exciting image. Nice work!
