I've given myself a break from painting racing horses to a portrait of a winning jockey. It must be a thrill to race around a dirt track on the back of an animal weighing at least a thousand pounds with other such animals all around you (hopefully not in front) wanting the same goal. Getting to the finish line first. I'm sure this is why a winning jockey has the look of immense relief and a smile that lights up his face from ear to ear. Hopefully I've caught that moment.

I think he is just happy it was a dry track so he is not wearing half of it home!
