Las Virgenes Stakes 2024 Analysis: Kentucky Oaks Points Race

 



By Jarrod Horak

The road to Kentucky Oaks 2024 continues at Santa Anita Park on Saturday, February 10, and I have included Las Virgenes Stakes 2024 picks below. The Grade 3 event for 3-year-old fillies has a $100,000 purse and the five entrants will be journeying one mile on the main track. The Las Virgenes is the 5th race on Feb. 10 and the top five finishers will earn Kentucky Oaks points (20-10-6-4-2). Horses trained by Bob Baffert are ineligible to earn Oaks points.  

Las Virgenes Stakes 2024 Picks & Final Time Ratings

Nothing Like You won her last three starts for Bob Baffert. She stretched out and wired the field by 6 1/2 lengths as the favorite in her maiden win, and turned back and just got up in the Desi Arnaz on Nov. 18. She stretched back out and controlled the pace from the inside post in a sharp 5 1/4 length tally in the Grade 2 Starlet last time. She should be in the hunt from the outset under her new rider Frankie Dettori.
