Inspired by gmen I have a nice photo taken back in 2002 at the Cheltenham National Hunt Festival (the Olympics of National Hunt racing).
It shows the fall of Adamant Approach at the last fence with the race at his mercy. The horse in the green and gold colours is "Like a Butterfly" who got the better of a tight finish with Westender (with the plum colored hood) in front of 50,000+ people to land the spoils in the Supreme Novices Hurdle (the first race of the 3 day meeting).
The photo was taken by a good friend of mine using a Canon slr (film) and scanned into digital format using a (very) generic scanner.
