Welcome, I too am a horse lover - not so much for racing but riding!

The only tips I can give as another relative novice is to take LOTS of photos in burst mode, panning with the horse. Don't photograph from behind the horse - it is rarely flattering!

Generally the best images come from slightly to one side. Try to catch the moment when the nearest front leg is on the ground - difficult when they are galloping, but a good rule of thumb while they are at trot or walking in the collecting ring.

E.g. this one of me on Ivoire taken by a professional photographer.
