Used a Canon 70-200mm 2.8. Settings on a day like yesterday vary. In the paddock you can get away with setting the aperture and let the camera choose the shutter speed. With the sun and glare on the track, it was hit or miss, so I sacrificed shutter speed, for depth of field. It worked in the stretch.

Thank you for the info...trust me...even with all the innovations in digital photography nowadays, you can't just go out, buy a good camera, and get great shots like these..

Thanks again
