This shot I hope makes up for the missing horse head in the last shot. Apart from the composition, you might be interested to see the difference between the shutter priority used in the Long shot and this one, where I left the camera to it's own automatic devices. I think I liked the results of the "Long shot" better, but only by nose.

Auto doesn't select a proper shutter speed for action photos. Normally, if you have sports mode on your camera, that works out best, because the shutter speed will be at 1/1000 or in that area, and you get more than one shot to choose from. All in all, your picture is not that bad considering it was in auto. It looks like there is going to be a photo finish.

I like this one, because you can see the both horses heads, very nice color, and pretty clear for this fast action. Nice post.

I like that you captured the two of them. Might not be as focused but it's still a very good one. :)sandi♪ =^..^=

Vibrant and action packed. Love the colors and vibrant details. Although I too, prefer Long Shot. Very nice.

Wonderful action shot, John, with bold and beautiful colours and detail! I have taken a look at 'Long Shot', and I too prefer it slightly over this one. Excellent work on both captures!
