The Longines Kentucky Oaks is America’s premier and most lucrative race for 3-year old fillies – female horses – held each year on the day before the Kentucky Derby. This feature race is a $1 Million Grade 1 stake race and awards the winning filly a garland of lilies, appropriately named “lilies for the fillies.”
