Before the race, here is Charles Cella at his "1/4 pole home" wondering where the hell Rachel Alexandra is. Before the race he said, "I didn't know giving away $5 Million was so hard!"  |

Great pics Steve. I've been shooting pics of horses for years with little digital cameras and it's hard as hell to get good action photos. Either you are supremely skilled with a $200 - $400 camera or you have some expensive equipment and know how to use it.

It's a 6 yr old Sony Cyber shot. I'm an amateur but the pics turned out great! |
