Horse racing betting sites and sportsbooks get things right more often than they get them wrong. But the simple fact is that favorites have a 20% win rate since 2013. While locking in picks based on odds alone is seldom a good idea, it\u2019s even less recommended due to this stat.<\/p>\n

Both tactical speed and impressive stamina are required to match the requirements of the Kentucky Oaks. Therefore, intelligent bettors should look to find proof (or the next best thing) of a horse\u2019s ability to traverse Churchill Downs. Researching previous results and speed figures are good methods to use to find these out.<\/p>\n

Although the Oaks is the greatest test a horse will have up to the race, not all champions had previous wins. Although graded stakes-winning, three-year-old fillies are likely to be well-backed, fast, and durable horses with 2nds and 3^{rd<\/sup>s could sometimes offer value in betting markets \u2013 especially when so few favorites have won recently.<\/p>\n}
