The Kentucky Oaks
Pink was the color on Oaks Day as a crowd of 112,552 attendees – the second largest in Oaks history – came dressed to impress at Churchill Downs on May 4.
Meanwhile, Believe You Can was draped in stargazer lilies after winning the 138th running of the $1 million Kentucky Oaks with Rosie Napravnik, the first female jockey to win the Oaks.
