Kentucky Oaks 148: Post Positions, Morning Line Odds
The field is set for Kentucky Oaks 148.
Nest will be the morning line favorite at 5-2 after Todd Pletcher’s filly dominated the field at Keeneland in the Ashland Stakes. Undefeated Kathleen O, trained by Shug McGaughey and ridden by Javier Castellano, will be the 7-2 second choice.
One of the local favorites is in the No. 1 post position, Secret Oath. Previously tested against the boys with a third-place finish in the Arkansas Derby, Secret Oath is trained by D. Wayne Lukas. A victory Friday evening would give the Coach five Kentucky Oaks victories, tying Woody Stephens with the most all-time. Turnerloose, trained by Louisville native Brad Cox, is an interesting long shot play at 20-1.
The Kentucky Oaks is the most prestigious race for three-year-old fillies, going 1 1/8 miles for a $1.25 million purse and the garland of lilies. The 11th of 13 races on Friday, post time is scheduled for 5:51 pm ET and can be watched on USA Network.
