Stumbling start

Grove City, Ohio view map

Itsahotcat, second from right in the green blinkers, stumbles at the start of a one-mile race at Beulah Park
near Columbus, Ohio. Itsahotcat, under jockey Jorge E. Collazo Jr., recovered to lead the race in the stretch
(photo, below), but was passed on the outside by Big Bamboozle (6) and jockey Christian Rojas (photo,
bottom), who took the lead (photo, below right). Big Bamboozle was nipped at the wire by Red Sky Warning
(not shown) in the first race of the day. Itsahotcat finished third.

Wow, I'm so glad that Itsahotcat was able to to recover and was even able to finish. It would have been sad if the horse had broken a leg. Nice capture of the action.

You caught the intensity of the event perfectly. A great addition to a wonderful series.
