2024 Kentucky Oaks: Odds explainer and how to watch America's top race for fillies
The 2024 Kentucky Derby is nearly here and the 150th edition of the event will have plenty of action throughout the week. One of the biggest events leading up to Saturday's race is the Kentucky Oaks.
The Kentucky Oaks is the top race of the year for three-year-old fillies (female horses) and started in 1875. Since 1982, the race has covered 1 1/8 miles. Organizers host a fashion contest as well as a survivor's parade leading up to the race to honor breast and ovarian cancer survivors in a march down the racetrack.

The Kentucky Oaks winner takes home $750,000 of the $1.25 million purse and a large blanket of lillies, nicknamed the "Lillies for the Fillies."
