Friday at Churchill Downs is Oaks Day AKA Derby Eve. (May 3, 2019) The Oaks, the Run for the Lilies, is the premier race for 3-year-old fillies. It will be live via NBC. 144 years old, Oaks Day is much like the Derby—similar crowds, foods, and so on. In place of mint juleps, is the Oaks Lily. My guess is that 100,000 will attend. (not me, I am a widower)
