Waking up Friday morning I had no idea I would be enjoying Oaks & Derby from the rail at Church Hill Downs.  I thought was going to be going to Church Hill  to do just a bit of marketing work and then head home… which was perfectly ok with me. You see being new to Louisville the idea of Derby had me a bit worried, I am not a southern girl, hats & dresses are not always my thing and I hadn’t a clue about horses, so I was ok just coming home and watching the derby on T.V. When I arrived at the track, much to my surprise I was handed an ALL ACCESS pass for Oaks & Derby! Ok this I can do,  I thought …. my  little photographers brain started jumping with joy because I knew exactly where I wanted to go when I was done working, I would run over to the track just in time for the start of the race and start snapping pictures… which is exactly what I did!
