Super work. I'd say this is an eclipse nominee too.

How about the job by the assistant starter? A little more worthy of praise than the photo....no?

Did he nail the landing?

99 times out of 100 the starter lets go when it's that bad... pretty awesome "catch."

I cancelled my bets on Royal Currier when he broke through the gate. He actually ran a nice race, tiring late. I have no statistical analysis to back up this perception, but I can only remember 1 horse winning after breaking through the gate before the start in all the races I have seen over the last 10 years or so (although I CANNOT remember the name of that horse). I would have to assume the sample size to be somewhere between 50 and 100, possibly more.

Of course! Without the incredible job done by Miguel Ramirez there would be no photo.

That's what I was referring to as outstanding.
