Best horse racing photos.
I am a huge fan of horse racing photos and have many of the more common ones you see hanging around my home (secretariat, 31 lengths, etc.). Please post some great shots related to horse racing or actual race photos. I have yet to find eclipse-award winning photos from the early 90's or earlier though i have seen them hanging in the racing hall of fame. Please post here if you can help. thanks. PS- photos with a story behind them are even better.
-Tom

Race Fixing
I say its hard to get a horse in on the fix. Why, look at that horse savaging another horse that is trying to pass it. Horses won't cooperate.

They are both eclipse winning photos. The one on the left is i believe from the 1980 Tremont, its called the Savage and i think its a coglianese photo. The other is last year's winner by Matt Goins taken at Keeneland. The jock is Julian Leparoux. Got any good ones?

favorite, except if you had money on a long shot in the race and now the win ticket is not worth very much. For some reason, I seem to have too many long shots dead heat  (nuts)
