about this race

Race Info
History

The Kentucky Oaks is the sister race to the Kentucky Derby and is run the day before the Derby, usually the first Friday in May. The race, inaugurated in 1875, is restricted to 3-year-old fillies and is run at 1 1/8 miles on the Churchill Downs dirt. All entrants carry 121 pounds.

The Oaks is a marquee event for fillies in the United States. Famous fillies to win the race over the years include Alcibiades, Cicada, Susan's Girl, Davona Dale, Princess Rooney, Silverbulletday, Ashado, Rags to Riches and Rachel Alexandra among others. In 2012 Rosie Napravnik became the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Oaks aboard Believe You Can. She won a second Oaks in 2014 when piloting Untapable to victory.

Owner Calumet Farm has won six editions of the race while trainer Woody Stephens won the Oaks five times.
