Editor’s Note:

Whether it be the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby to stamp the beginning of the annual Churhcill Downs’ Summer Meet or the Stephen Foster Stakes to trump the end, or anything and everything in-between, our very own Holly M. Smith is always there.

At Churchill Downs.

On the job.

Capturing the moments.

Saving the memories.

Savoring the triumphs.

Here’s her looks at the Stephen Foster Stakes Day at Churchill Downs on Saturday.

They are glorious.

Per usual.
