The 2017 Kentucky Oaks will be the 143rd running of the race. Here’s a full list of the 142 fillies to win it.
The Kentucky Oaks is the race which precedes the Kentucky Derby. It’s the biggest exclusively female horse race in America and possibly the world. Only fillies can participate in the Oaks. While they are allowed to participate in the Kentucky Derby, their participation is rare. Only three fillies have ever won the derby, with the last one coming in 1988.
While the Oaks isn’t as popular as its more famous partner, it’s still one of the most popular horse races in the world. It is also the most attended female horse race in the world and one of the most attended overall.
