Race Day stock 1

Racehorses at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minnesota. This is stock!

I have a newfound respect for anyone who can get decent shots of horse racing. It's about 20 times harder than shooting other horses. Races are super fast! If you're a fraction of a second late, you'll miss your shot. Being a mere spectator just adds to the challenge, with people, fences, and rails in the way, not to mention the fact that you can only really shoot a small portion of the track near the finish line. With races in the evening, you can only shoot the first few anyway, because by the time the fourth or fifth race comes around, it's too dark to shoot at such a fast shutter speed.

I realize this set of stock will probably be no good for manips and the like, but I figured it could be useful for HARPG or as a drawing ref. Credit me on image or in the description if used on dA, as Molly Goossens or Skunktail17.
