In this composition, I attempt to draw the viewer's attention to the communication between the jockey and horse in the moments after they emerge from the starting gate. When I asked a jockey what position this rider was in, he said "He's taking a hold." The model for the horse is a famous racehorse named "Manila", ridden by jockey Jacinto Vasquez in the Early Times Turf Classic.

"Taking a Hold"
"As he knotted the reins and took his stand the horse's soul came into his hand and up from the mouth that held the steel came an innermost word, half thought, half feel..."
