(Jockey Tyler Gaffalione guides Santin to victory in G1 Arlington Million / All Photos by Holly M. Smith)

Editor’s Note:

If, on a normal day, a picture is worth a thousand words, as the old saying goes, then on this Saturday, the photos were worth a million. An Arlington Million.

Take a journey to the Arlington Million Day at Churchill Downs on Saturday through the incredible eyes and lens of our own Holly M. Smith.

Here photos are worth the trip.
