By Kyeland Jackson —

A cross perched on the chapel peers across the barns and stables. Hours before the sun peeks over the twin spires of Churchill downs, workers will rise for another day of work. Waking at 4:30 am, working seven days a week, the average life of work on the backside is physically and mentally demanding. Amid the neighs of horses and smell of manure, Christ Chapel has offered workers a haven since the 1970s.
