Editor’s Note:

It’s Kentucky Derby time. That means it Holly M. Smith time.

Her time to shine in the early morning sun shine at her ole’ Kentucky Home — Churchill Downs.

On Sunday, she took a shinning to some of the best Thoroughbreds in the free world, as they trained and got in final preparations for the upcoming, 149th Kentucky Derby and other events associated with it.

Here’s a few of her amazing looks. All Photos by Holly M. Smith:
