Churchill Downs Incorporated announced that the 151st running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks generated strong wagering results, with all-sources wagering on the full race day card totaling $73.9 million. All-sources wagering specifically on the Kentucky Oaks race increased by 4% from the previous year, reaching $22.7 million.
TwinSpires, the official betting partner of the Kentucky Oaks, set a new record by handling $20.9 million in wagering on Churchill Downs races for the Oaks Day program. This figure surpasses last year's record of $20.3 million, including all settled future wagers and affiliate wagering.
The event, which saw Good Cheer claim victory on a sloppy track, also continued its tradition of supporting women's health initiatives, raising over $1.5 million since its inception. The increased wagering figures highlight continued strong fan engagement and revenue generation for the company's racing events.
