(Take Charge Milady and Gowells Delight work at Churchill Downs on Friday morn / All Photos by Holly M. Smith)

Editor’s Note:

She is back on the scene. Back on the track. Back on the job that she calls a love. Back in the saddle again, watching saddles and what comes under them.

Holly M. Smith has a day job that she has to tend to, on most mornings. But somehow, some way she finds a way to sneak out to Churchill Downs and grab her camera on the way.

And, she always seems to find the best moments to capture some of the best horses, of all time.

Here’s her amazing looks from this Friday a.m.:
