A deep and competitive field has assembled for Friday’s $1.25 million Kentucky Oaks (G1) at Churchill Downs.
The 149th running of the 1 1/8-mile race has drawn 17 entries, including three also-eligibles. Flashy stakes winners Wet Paint, Botanical, and Southlawn (all unbeaten this year) rank as the three favorites, but there are many other viable contenders in the mix.
