On Friday, May 3rd, Pretty Mischievous made history by becoming the first filly to win the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs Racecourse. The three-year-old filly, owned by Calumet Farm and trained by Brad Cox, won the race in a thrilling finish with a time of 1:50.45.
Pretty Mischievous was the favorite to win the Kentucky Oaks, and she did not disappoint. She ran a strong race, leading the field from start to finish. She was challenged by Speech, who finished second, and Travel Column, who finished third.
The victory was especially sweet for Pretty Mischievous’s jockey, Florent Geroux. He had ridden the filly in all of her previous races, and he was thrilled to be part of her historic win. “It’s an amazing feeling to be part of this,” Geroux said after the race. “She’s an incredible filly and I’m so proud of her.”
Pretty Mischievous’s win was also a huge victory for Calumet Farm, which has been a major player in horse racing for nearly a century. The farm has won numerous Triple Crown races, including the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, but this was its first Kentucky Oaks victory.
The Kentucky Oaks is one of the most prestigious races in horse racing, and Pretty Mischievous’s win is sure to be remembered for years to come. Her victory is a testament to her talent and determination, and it is a great example of what can be achieved when hard work and dedication are combined.
