Kentucky Oaks odds: Betting favorites for 2025 'Lilies for the Fillies'
(Editor's note: This story has been updated with news that Five G has been scratched from the Kentucky Oaks).
The Kentucky Derby isn't the only major race at Churchill Downs in the coming days, with the Kentucky Oaks among horse racing's biggest occasions.
The 1 ⅛-mile race race for three-year-old fillies comes with a $1.5 million purse (with the winner's share set at just under $850,000), with the winner also claiming the famous garland of lilies. The winning trainer is presented with the silver Kentucky Oaks Trophy.
Good Cheer, who has not lost a race in six starts, is the clear favorite in the 14-horse field, with the filly continuing a trend of trainer Brad Cox's stable producing the top horses for the Oaks. However, the favorite didn't claim victory in 2023 or 2024, leaving the door open for what figures to be an eventful race on Friday.
Here are odds for the 2025 Kentucky Oaks, along with how to watch the race:
