START OF A BIG EQUESTRIAN WEEK IN WINDSOR

Monday, middle of May, and a big week in the royal Windsor week for horses.
To start with a quality racing card at royal Windsor racecourse, which entertained it's first listed race of the season.

This eveings racing I spread my time between the start and the finish. I wanted to get the explosive and tense atmosphere of a start of the race, and the burst opening of the stalls as the horses get on their way






I then wanted my usuale shots of a finish. Close up action,and the feel of how close the jockey gets to the horse s he drives home for a win or place.

Miss Moneypenny and Richard Hughes

Good bright and dry weather meant for some atmospheric shots in some cases, and as for the listed race. The team of Hughes and Hannon, brother  and brother in law. took the honours, with Shifting Power.

Is this a horse we could see to victory at Royal Ascot in June?
