I think you have outdone yourself this time Dennis. Every picture should tell a story and this one definately does that and more. #1448703

Freudian slip, my dear Arthur? I love this shot. not only tells a story, but I managed to win a few pounds on it. the winning horse was called Uncle Fred, the odds where 20/1, clearly not the favorite. my dog's name is Freddy, so I had to put money on it.
All my winnings were gone that night, I took my family for a very nice meal near to Windsor (UK)
the color versin is also quite good

G'day David!

Top shot!
Great sweaty, horsie action. A real day-at-the-races image. The tension is palpable, the expression on the nearest jockey is terrific and the B&W work concentrates the viewer's attention on exactly what is important.

Arthur: That was quite flattering of you to put my name to thi9s superb photograph. I'll get one, one day.
