There weren't many people there.
Most of the people were up in the Members Stand, where we were.
However the number of people did pick up as the day progressed. Maybe a lot of people were down at the coast after Christmas.
I took my small digital camera to experiment with. It's a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5. I bought this one for my recent trip to India, as a small camera that I could keep in my pocket in case unexpected photo opportunities arose (which they did). This one has lots of clever options that I wanted to experiment with. One of these was the speed burst mode that seemed to capture a frame every tenth of a second. In this mode the camera switches to a 2M pixel image with the option of continuous firing (until you run out of storage). Here is the quality of picture that it took in this mode.

Unfortunately the camera doesn't allow you to manually set the speed, only select "SPORT" mode. As you can see from this photo, it didn't set the speed up to about 1/1000 of a second or above to eliminate the blur. THis means that I'll have to stay with my Kodak digital camera for horse work.
