Odds To Win The 2012 Kentucky Oaks

While the majority of people will recognize the Kentucky Derby by name, one of the most popular races at Churchill Downs takes place on Friday.

The notoriety for the Kentucky Oaks might be overshadowed by the Derby, but make no mistake that there is plenty talent at the Oaks on Friday afternoon.

The 2012 Kentucky Oaks gets going on Friday just before 6pm ET, with 14 horses competing for a $600,000 first place prize. It is a Grade 1 Stake race open to three-year-old Thoroughbred fillies. The race is just over one mile a 1 1/8.

And with the winner of the race getting a large ring of lilies, similar to the roses for the Derby, this race is referred to as the ‘lilies for the fillies’, similar to the ‘run for the roses’ term coined for the Derby.

So how do the odds stack up for the race.
