A big Thank You to Jay Hovdey today friday,6/12/15 on ATR, for giving hisvalued opinion of disappointment in the chooisng of the Sports illustrateds cover shot, vs the Affirmed/ Alydar cover. Now being agreed upon by Ric Hammerle, on the changes in photography and values in the photos .
Hammer said I've got a photo like the SI cover etc. I feel like my opinion has been confirmed, and that the SI shot is good, its not a cover and is a grab shot by an asst photo editor not a pro photog. ad doesnot feature the horse, in his glory but that the crowd is just as important, so tto me it is a supporting shot to a photo essay ** previous SI covers http://www.sicovers.com/SearchResult...Horse%20Racing. on horseracing

what i like the most is it's a photo of spontaneous reactions, with the addition of the camera phone craze, nothing posed and 'just perfect'

Photography still is an art form, isn't it? In terms of artistic quality as a capture and what the picture represents, it struck me instantly and perfectly as conveying that the 'event' transcended the horse.. which to the wider audience, it did. As I said to Hovdey as well, as a New Yorker, it was redolent of one of the most famous magazine covers in history, Saul Steinberg's 'View of the World from 9th Avenue'..

I think it's a great cover. The best pieces written on his victory are as much about what it meant the people watching the race as they are about the horse, and this cover captures that- all those arms and cameras in the air, wanting to preserve that moment when he crossed the wire. Because it meant so much to all of us who've been waiting so long to see it happen. Ninety thousand people, all cheering for the same horse. Because, really, why would anyone spend the time and money to go out to Belmont hoping to see him lose?
That day belonged both to racing fans and to the horse. Nice to see them both celebrated on the cover.

There are many beautiful photos of AP out there. The Saratoga backyard artists are working overtime painting, drawing, sketching AP for sale this summer. But nothing captures the 37 year wait and the feeling at Belmont last Saturday like this photo. Simply awesome!
