I'm thinking of buying a few photos off the Racing Post site for framing and putting up in my office at work. On my list at present are a side-on shot of King's Best winning the Guineas at Newmarket, a shot of the late Pride Of Dulcote jumping the open ditch at Newbury and one showing Sea The Stars beating Rip Van Winkle in the Eclipse taken from slightly in front and to the side of the pair.
I'm a bit disappointed that there aren't many in the "posed" category that the Timeform Annuals carry but, that aside, does anyone have any particular favourites they'd suggest from the site? There are thousands to trawl through and a few pointers wouldn't go amiss.

Beautiful horse, true steeplechaser and heavyweight champion among champions... after overcoming a heart condition in his 2008/09 season, he returned to Newbury in 2009, after missing the race in 2008. That day he won off a mark of 174, putting his opponents to the sword in a brutal display of power and resilience. A field of seasoned chasers fell away or pulled up due to the sheer ferocity of his performance, stumbling around like newborn giraffes in his wake. He had been through the wringer and had beaten his opposition senseless. Walsh was dumbfounded.
