    Filly Thorpedo Anna goes wire to wire to dominate soggy 150th Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs

    Filly Thorpedo Anna went wire to wire to dominate the 150th Kentucky Oaks, pulling away from a charging Just F Y I in the slop to win by at least four lengths on Friday at Churchill Downs. Thorpedo Anna's official margin of victory wasn't immediately available, but the dark brown horse was briefly the top choice before eventually going off at 4-1 odds and staking her claim right away. Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. then took Thorpedo Anna up a gear to break away and cover the 1 1/8 mile in 1:50.83 for her fourth victory in five starts.
