Millionaire's Row
The Kentucky Oaks was traditionally known as "Louisville's Day at the Races", but as the race for fillies becomes more prestigious, more and more celebrities are flocking the "Run for the Lilies".
Many celebrities now make a weekend of their Derby experience attending both the Derby and oaks, and others who are not lucky enough to get a Millionaire's Row seat on Derby day have found the Oaks to be just as exciting.
