Editor’s Note:

It was a great weekend to be a racing fan. It was a great weekend to be a racing fan at Churchill Downs.

On Saturday night, the fans flocked to the “big oval” in Louisville for a full return to normalcy and a fun return to “Downs After Dark.”

It was hot, alright.

And, the music was just right for a “Rock & Roll” celebration.
