Kentucky Oaks is the Kentucky Derby, but for fillies (female horses). The “Lilies for the Fillies” (the winner gets a garland of lilies, similar to the garland of roses the Derby winner gets) is held the day before the Kentucky Derby, also at Churchill Downs. At 1 1/8 mile it’s slightly shorter, and the horses carry slightly less weight. First post is at 10:30, and the actual Oaks is scheduled to run 12th in the 13 race series, at 5:51 pm. The favorites to win are Wet Paint and Botanical, both trained by Brad Cox.
