It's Oaks Day. We have a great card ahead of us with plenty of wagering opportunities. Don't forget about the $500,000 Guaranteed Pick 4, and check back here later today to see my Pick 4 ticket.
I should have my Oaks analysis posted here before noon. For those of you leaving to head to the track, my choice for the win is Cotton Blossom. For those of you who want to read my analysis and my exacta plays, check back here around noon.
By the way, the Guaranteed Pick 4 ends with the Kentucky Oaks, not with race 11 as stated in Daily Racing Form.
