I know very well, that not all, agree with me, on my love of (TV) watching of horse racing. And I do not deny that all is not perfect, in this sport. One aspect is the use of a whip.
"The Realities of the Whip in Horse Racing" is a very good article, for those, like me, who have been bothered, by the use of a whip. I encourage you to click on that click-able link, and read this informative article.
Again, I know not everyone, is in agreement. As is so, with so many topics, in Blogging...

What a great finish!
It was a beautiful day for a race.
You sure got beautiful and sharp photos, just like I was there! Wonder how the hats looked!
Love the Derby - always have.
I didn't see the race but heard how exciting it was and watched some clips.
Interesting article on the whip.
I was glad to read that article on whips as I have always wondered about their use.
Its my favorite few minutes in television. Do you ever go back and look at old videos of and about Secreteriat? I always say I missed my calling. Not to be s jockey...but to just be around the horses.
Don't watch these. I read an article about drug use & deaths of race horses from overdose. If it involves cruelty to any animal, it's not a sport.
I don't watch horse racing on TV but I bet that was an exciting race! I have gone to a couple races. One was regular horse racing and one was the harness racing where they pull a little cart. I did enjoy both!
I love your header .... but then, I am very fond of lavender.
A true fun tradition. :-)
