Editor’s Note:

It is Kentucky Derby 152 Week.

It is here.

Friday is a big day — Kentucky Oaks Day.

Saturday is the biggest day of them all — Kentucky Derby Day 152.

But now, the entire week is monstrous.

There’s Tuesday, and “Wins-Day,” and “Thurby.”

It’s just amazing.

Our great friend Holly M. Smith is doing her best juggling routine to still fulfill the duties and obligations of her “day job,” and her “dream job” — supply us with amazing looks and feels of the horse.

Here’s her latest sampling.

Hope you enjoy.
