The Oaks


Deemed "Louisville Day" at the track The Kentucky Oaks is the race where 3 year-old fillies (girl horses) race the 1 1/8 mile track to win the coveted "Lillies for the Fillies" garland.  It's a local holiday, on par with Thunder and Christmas, and the town will be painted PINK.  The Oaks also has a huge effort for breast cancer awareness and celebration of survivors.

Check out the parade and the pink out that will certainly have the Infield tickled.  I'll be on the Paddock with the rest of my New2Louies.

Ladies first!
