Kentucky Oaks Day
The 137th running of the Kentucky Oaks drew a crowd of 110,122 to Churchill Downs on May 6.
This year’s race was another “Pink Out,” with attendees wearing pink to show support for breast cancer awareness, and a Survivors Parade was held before the race, which was won by Plum Pretty.
The Chambord Oaks Day Fashion Contest was held in the Aristides Garden and judged by celebs Niki Taylor and Betsey Johnson.
