(Jonathan’s Way won the G3 Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs on Saturday, picking up the first 10 points towards the 2025 Kentucky Derby)

Editor’s Note:

On Saturday, Churchill Downs launched yet another spectacular Thoroughbred racing show, presenting an amazing 5 Stakes events that were carded by the best racing secretary in all of the Americas — Ben Huffman.

The horses were aplenty.

The horses were plenty talented.

And the horses were plenty pretty.

Just the perfect set and scene for the cameras, lenses, and talents of our best friend — Holly M. Smith.

Take a look at some of her looks.

And, enjoy her artistic talent. Once again.
