I always love to feature tutorials written by our Members.
This was written by Martine and I always love her helping hand to guide
you along in her tutorials.

If you have any problems with the plug-ins, just let us know.
This one does a few plug-ins, but you achieve some great effects.

This one uses a mask to make the great effect of the rays and you can use
elements from a scrapkit you download.
I used some different elements from this kit.

"And They're Off!" as the first Kentucky Derby is held at Churchill Downs.

May 17th (1875)

Given the unprecedented effects of COVID-19 on the racing industry,
the Kentucky Derby was postponed from May 2 to Sept. 5
and much is still unclear about the Triple Crown, Belmont Stakes,
and overall racing schedule for the rest of the year.

Ellis Park Racing & Gaming continues to work with the KHRC
and Commonwealth of Kentucky to monitor
hen it is safe to reopen and is preparing for
all scenarios regarding guests in the stands.
