Disclaimer: You must appreciate that the one taking the photos is not a sports photographer and is using a digital camera--you know, the ones with the delay.  Also, these animals are moving fast.  Training is but 5 minutes each day, if that, and we are posting (if you can believe it) the best of the day's photos given afore mentioned factors.  Sometimes quality is sacraficed for content.
