The 2015 Kentucky Oaks drew a full field of 14 3-year-old fillies, plus also-eligible entrant Peace and War, making Friday’s 1 1/8-mile race at Churchill Downs a fantastic betting opportunity.
The America’s Best Racing brand ambassadors have been providing race selections and betting analysis throughout the spring, so we’ve compiled all of the ambassadors’ selections for the Kentucky Oaks. Six different fillies were chosen for the top slot, indicating just how wide open this year’s race appears to be. Good luck!
