Elaine Deutsch took this photo on Aug. 26, 2024 at Pennsylvania Day at the Races.

"Parx jockey Mychel Sanchez wanted to make sure that I got a photo of his "doggy silks"," said Deutsch. "He saw us standing by the rail as they were loading into the gate. He saw I had my camera up, so he said `Be sure you get a photo of this."

"The silks belong to Waldorf Racing Stables and are described as "Khaki, Dog Emblem"," she said. "The dog emblem is a very cute Jack Russell terrier. They are also on the cap and the blinkers! The horse that Mychel is riding is Movisitor, a Pa-bred.

Wendy Weikel of Lansdale, Pa., took this photo of a young horse that decided he'd had enough at Dressage at Devon while his handler looked on.

"The horse was in the Colts/Gelding born in 2024 class," said Weikel. "The colt was not having it and wanted out. He ended up on ground. The judges checked him out and he was OK."

Cesar Contreras Pina of Oxford Pa.. took this series of photos sent in by his wife Tara Ziegler.

This is a picture of our 2-year-old Cane Corso, an Italian mastiff named Angus, aka Gus, and our 5-year-old son, Samuel," said Ziegler. "They enjoy going for walks together."

Any one of the series could have won as a single photo, but together they show a wonderful progression, each with great expressions of the fun he's having on the face of Samuel as well as the expressive faces of Gus.
