"The favorite American Pharoah and the jockey Victor Espinoza (2) make their move to win the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby on a sun-filled Saturday at Churchill Downs. The photographer Andrew Hancock attended his ninth derby today, working with a crew of five to shoot the race itself. "I stay pretty occupied trying to manage a crew and 18-20 cameras," he said earlier today. He said he was looking to shoot both the action and the scene." "The horses are equally as graceful as they are powerful. It really is a majestic sport."
