The $500,000 Ashland (Grade 1) at Keeneland has assembled the year's most talented group of sophomore fillies to date.  Nine fillies from across the country are set to do battle, each seeking a berth in the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs on May 4.

An overflow field of 14 has been entered in the $150,000 Bourbonette Breeders' Cup (Grade 3), a one-mile test for 3-year-old fillies to be run at Turfway Park on Saturday's stakes filled card.  The size of the field is matched by the quality it has attracted, boasting stakes winners Olivine, Our Dancing Babe, and Sealy Hill, as well as other highly touted youngsters Silverinyourpocket, Floral Park, and Bavarian Belle.
