The Kentucky Oaks serves as a prelude to the Kentucky Derby a day later, but Oaks Day stands on its own merit as a premium American sporting event.

The centerpiece of a stakes-packed Friday program, the Kentucky Oaks attracts a top-class field of three-year-old fillies every year.

More than 100,000 people will pack the stands at Churchill Downs on Oaks Day regardless of weather conditions and horse players can expect to witness contentious fields filled with lucrative wagering opportunities.

Oaks Day handle totaled $46.1 million in 2015, with $15.2 million wagered on the Kentucky Oaks alone.
