Original - A horse race at Churchill Downs.

Reason: The image has a few blown highlights, but I feel they are minor enough to not detract too much. Good quality overall and good EV.

Comment Good EV but a couple of quibbles. The position of the legs is a bit unfortunate, rear legs in most forward position and front legs bent. I can't help thinking a faction of a second later the shot would be more natural looking. Also, there is only one horse in the shot, usually a horse race involves more than one horse.--RDBury (talk) 02:31, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Just not sure what is special about this shot. Looking at the other pics in the horse racing article, they are much better at supporting the article. Then over on list of jockeys, the photo is just dropped in with no explanation (and really seems out of place). TCO (talk) 20:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Horse people put a lot of weight on the pose of a horse in a photo, and this looks pretty awkward to me. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:11, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
