Horse Race Panning

Looking for something different for a news/feature photo from the biggest racing day of the year at Fonner Park, I tried a bit of panning and liked this resulting photo the best.

The crowd is bigger than usual for the 20th running of the $75,000 Bosselman/Gus Fonner Stakes at Fonner Park in Grand Island. During the third race of the day, Speedy Deposit (left), ridden by Luis Ranilla, trails Royal Mr. G, ridden by Mike Ziegler, and New Kirks Trick (right), ridden by Jordan Olesiak, during the opening stretch.
