Editor’s Note:

It was a brilliant, sunny day and picture perfect for a football game at Cardinal Stadium between the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky. And, our great friend, Holly M. Smith, was just a block away, where she could see and almost feel the energy from the stadium.

But she was at Churchill Downs. Where is was a sunny and picture perfect for some horse races and some perfect pictures.

Here’s some of her perfect looks:
