The final three Kentucky Oaks prep races are in the books and Percy’s Bar, Meaning, and Always a Runner punched their tickets to Louisville. In this report, I will recap the Ashland, SA Oaks, and Gazelle, update the points standings, and share my top five Oaks fillies.
I covered all of the Kentucky Oaks preps on my Runaway Horse YouTube channel, and my top choices had 14 wins, 7 runner-up finishes, and 5 show finishes (31 races). My top choices showed a flat bet profit in this series.
Kentucky Oaks 2026 Points Race Recaps
Grade 1 Ashland at Keeneland (8.5f): The track was listed as good. Zany was the strong favorite and Percy’s Bar was making her first start since finishing third in the G1 BC Juvenile Fillies last fall. It came down to those two and Percy’s Bar ($7.12) never left the rail. She saved all the ground tracking French Friction, and she scooted up the rail in the stretch and won by 2 1/4 lengths (87 BSF). Zany raced in traffic early, stalked outside, changed leads late, and was clearly second best. Star Actress rallied from last of 6 from the outside post to finish a clear third. French Friction weakened to fourth and Omaha Bay and Hollybygolly also ran. Luan Machado rode the winner for Ben Colebrook. Fractions: 24.70, 50.37, 1:15.24, 1:39.47, 1:45.72.
