Place your bets and get your Kentucky Oaks tickets for a great day of racing at Churchill Downs. The Kentucky Oaks is an annual Garde I thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies. It takes place on the day before the Kentucky Derby as part of the Derby weekend festivities. The race is set at a distance of 1⅛ miles with the fillies carrying 121 pounds. A purse of over $1 million sees the winner of the race collecting $750,000 and a garland of lilies known as “Lillies for the Fillies.” 

The Kentucky Oaks was founded in 1875 alongside the Kentucky Derby with both events being the oldest annual sporting events in the United States. In terms of attendance, the Kentucky Oaks is one of the most popular horse races in the world, drawing over 100,000 each year. The only horse racing events in America that outdraw the Kentucky Oaks are the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. The Oaks also make up a portion of the unofficial National Filly Triple Crown along with the Black-Eyed Susan Day and the Acord Stakes.
