Dapper Derby Event Update #7

Oh, man! Is it Derby yet?! Unfortunately, we have three more to wait for the actual Derby races. The biggest day before the Derby is the Kentucky Oaks.

The Kentucky Oaks, or Oaks as locals know it, is "a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbred fillies staged annually in Louisville, Kentucky, at Churchill Downs."-Wikipedia.

 Presented by Longines, Oaks is the race before the Kentucky Derby in which the winner wins $750,000/ or the $1,250,000 purse, a silver trophy, and a stunning garland of lilies.
