About

The Kentucky Oaks stands as thoroughbred horse racing's premier event for three-year-old fillies, held annually at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, as part of the sport's most prestigious weekend alongside the Kentucky Derby. Known as "Lillies for the Fillies," the Grade I stakes race attracts the finest female horses from across North America, creating an atmosphere of elegance and fierce competition that draws over 100,000 spectators draped in traditional pink attire. Since 1875, the Oaks has crowned champions like Serena's Song, Rachel Alexandra, and recent winner Secret Oath, establishing itself as a cornerstone of American horse racing tradition. This year's field promises exceptional depth with top contenders from leading stables nationwide, generating significant national television coverage and international media attention as racing's elite fillies compete for the coveted garland of stargazer lilies.
