Aarons sports shots are pretty much under constant lighting. Unless the dome
roof is open
and the
shade plays its hand.

With my D1 i have great results using Av mode at F 3.5 or so. When i was
having WB and
exposure
problems with the D2H, i found shooting in Tv mode was to much all over the
place. M mode
with a
metering of the two jumps i was to shoot worked well. Just change the shutter
slightly
between jumps,
as they were usually off by a bit. Also if its a grey horse i'd shoot a tad
faster to
avoid the white part
to overblown.
