The12mpx sensor is really quite good and sort of the sweet spot in a balance between resolution and display capability, and effective use of memory. Even now, 10 years later some shots taken with that camera are my most requested prints. It might be because being reasonable in size even with the grip, and low weight, it went everywhere with me, had almost every time I left my home. It has over 200,000 shutter clicks and still works the same as new. Everything the D90 did so well compared to the competition, the D500 does times 5.  I don't have one but have used one a lot and think it is about the best general purpose and action specialty crop camera ever made and the other brands are not even trying to compete.  One of its superior traits besides all the speed and AF is the JPG rendering engine retains color accuracy deep into the lowest light levels like nothing before it. It is not that much lower noise than other current cameras at high ISO but the quality of the JPG is generates is really something to experience. In that regard my D800 or the D810, both great cameras with excellent DR start to color shift in very low light as high  ISO. The D500 doesn't. 25,000iso shots in very dim light might be noisy but the color is preserved so a little Dfine 2 noise reduction software processing and you have a printable image.If possible, rent a 70-200 2.8 for the races or 300 f/4. You will be glad you did.Good luck and congratulations for choosing the best camera for your craft</blockquote>
