Official Kentucky Oaks Power Rankings
For the Kentucky Oaks Power Rankings list, the rankings will be based on where the horse’s Oak prospects stand, based on the evidence we have to date from their races. Performances in races on the official Road to the Kentucky Oaks schedule and other graded races will obviously weigh heavily, but impressive efforts in maiden and allowance races will also be considered when assembling the list.

What is the Kentucky Oaks?
The $1.5 million Kentucky Oaks is a premiere race for Thoroughbred three-year-old fillies at Churchill Downs, the female counterpart to the Kentucky Derby. The 1 1/8-mile event is offered the Friday before the Kentucky Derby, which takes place on the first Saturday in May every year.
The 151st running of the Kentucky Oaks is Friday, May 2nd, 2025. The Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are the longest continuously held sporting events in America, originating in 1875.
Kentucky Oaks attendance reached 100,000 for the first time in 1999 (101,034) and 113,071 people filled the stands at the Louisville, Kentucky track despite cold and cloudy conditions in 2014. The Oaks is frequently the second-most attended event in Thoroughbred racing behind the Kentucky Derby.
Since 1999, Churchill Downs has partnered with various organizations and causes, such as non-profit organizations focusing upon prevention and treatment of breast and ovarian cancer. Kentucky Oaks Day is a “Pink Out,” with patrons encouraged to wear pink attire, and special pink cocktails are sold.
A fashion contest and Survivors’ Parade also benefit cancer survivors on Oaks Day.
Known as the Run for the Lillies, the Oaks features an impressive roster of past winners -- champions such as Rachel Alexandra, Untapable, Blind Luck, Proud Spell, Rags to Riches and Ashado have proved successful in the last decade – and a stakes-packed program filled with wagering opportunities await horse players on the undercard.
In 2025, the seven stakes races run on Oaks Day boasted a total purse of $5.1 million:
- $1,500,000 Kentucky Oaks (G1)
- $1,000,000 La Troienne (G1)
- $600,000 Alysheba (G2)
- $600,000 Eight Belles (G2)
- $600,000 Edgewood (G2)
- $400,000 Modesty (G3)
- $400,000 Unbridled Sidney (G3)
