LLOUISVILLE, Ky. — It was a wire-to-wire win for Thorpedo Anna in 150th running of the $1.5 million Longines Kentucky Oaks.

Thorpedo Anna gave trainer Kenny McPeek and jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. their first Kentucky Oaks victory. This was the sixth time Hernandez has ridden a horse in the Oaks.

The Oaks—a 1 1/8 mile race—featured 14 3-year-old fillies running on a sloppy, mud-filled track.

Thorpedo Anna broke from post position 5 and led the entire way. When the horses hit the stretch run, she pulled away from the competition. Thorpedo Anna has four wins in only five career starts.

Morning-line odds had her at 5-1 after the post position draw Saturday, April 27. When the race started, she was at 4-1.

Here is how the top 3 finished in the historic 150th running of the Oaks.

The 3-year-old filly was bred in Kentucky had to overcome a lot of obstacles to find her way to the Winner’s Circle at Churchill Downs. She had a four-month layoff before she got to the starting gate at Oaklawn Park for the Grade 2 Fantasy Stakes. Thorpedo Anna blasted her way to a four-length victory, besting nine other horses to earn her spot in the Kentucky Oaks.

The Oaks was the 11th race of a 13-race card at Churchill Downs. The track reported attendance at the rain-soaked event at 107,236, an increase from last year. 

The first half of the day’s races went off under a steady drizzle, and the rain tapered off to intermittent showers throughout the afternoon. An allowance optional claiming race on turf was moved to the dirt and resulted in eight scratches.
