It's ladies' first at Churchill Downs with Friday's running of the 2012 Kentucky Oaks (post time: 5:45pm Eastern; TV: NBCSN). Known as the "Lilies for the Fillies", the Oaks is a one and one eighth of a mile race for three-year-old fillies with a purse of $1,000,000.
The 2012 version of the Oaks has drawn an overflow field of 15 fillies (14 entries and one alternate entry ("AE")). Grace Hall, winner of the G2-Gulfstream Park Oaks and second in last fall's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Churchill Downs, leads the field from post position number 2. Grade Hall is the 5/2 morning line favorite.
