Nice set of pictures Ian, sorry you didn't win. It must be that new a500 giving you all that confidence.

I like these, although confess I don't understand the first thing about horse racing and can't recall the last time I put a bet on, but that doesn't matter, I don't know anything about astromony and like pictures of the moon.
The first is my favourite although the lady rider is very easy on the eye, and as for heckling the riders, that sounds very bad form and certainly wouldn't be tolerated at Royal Ascot, nice set Ian, the camera seems to be performing well.

great to get "inside" the circle to get close up shots of the action!

Ian, ahh a day at the races. Like Beach I don't really follow the sport to know about any faves to win and betting. I did go to Pimlico which is one of the Triple Crown Races once. Did have a great time.
