Great action shot. Shows off the power of these animals. And I like how all the jockeys are anonymous - you can't see any of their faces.

Impressive action shot !

You did manage to capture the horse with all hooves of the ground, I recently heard this was a point that was not clear until not so for back in time, , like the 80's ( if I recall correctly) when a number of high speed cameras captured horses running on a track.

The horses seem to be looking at you. Were you taunting them with a carrot? :P
