(The great Forte loves being back at Churchill Downs / All Photos by Holly M. Smith)

Editor’s Note:

It was a crisp, early morn in Kentucky this Saturday. A perfect day for football? Not if you are a Kentucky or Louisville fan. Both found the night a little too chilly. But a perfect one if you are a horse fan.

Our great friend Holly M. Smith made her way to Churchill Downs, with her camera in tow, of course.

Here’s a few glimpses of her work, artful as ever, of course.
