For those wondering about the 10th place shot in this challenge, it's also from Saratoga Raceway, and it was taken by my son, with my camera, later in the day. His is better (but in my defense, he had better light!)
Not only did he get a better shot, but I lost the races I picked and he won $55 in a $2 exacta!

Great use of B&W. Great action shot. Perfect composition. My only complaint is really not valid because it is purely in the eye of the beholder: the frame. The frame for me, is too heavy and distracting from an otherwise excellent photo. In my top 10 for this challenge. Question: Should the white fence in the back been absolutely horizontal? 9
Who did you go to the track with?
Wonderfully composed. Great clarity and detail. Selecting B/W works very well here as it helps to isolate your subjects even more and removes distracting bg items. Well done!
What a great action shot, really nailed the challenge theme perfectly. Love the BW processing and love how you've balanced the composition. Really the only 'bad' comment I would make is I don't care for the white line you've included in the border. Other than that, really nice shot. 8.
