I enjoyed the photographer's description of the luck involved. He was essentially shooting blind, but, fortunately, not deaf:
“During the race I had no view of the track. The crowd had begun to stand on chairs and benches,” Rasco said. “The only way I knew to fire the camera as American Pharoah approached the finish was from the intensity of the crowd around me yelling and cheering. Based on that, I fired a burst of frames from my camera. I didn’t see any of the horses at the finish. I hoped I timed it right with the crowd guiding me.” (from http://www.si.com/horse-racing/2015/...ustrated-cover )
