G1 Kentucky Oaks, being one of the most important races of the season for 3-year-old fillies, were dominated by Daredevil fillies, Shedaresthedevil and Swiss Skydiver. Shedaresthedevil not only won the Oaks, but also set stakes record.

Shedaresthedevil (Daredevil – Starship Warpspeed / Congrats), TJK sire Daredevil’s filly, reached a record-breaking victory in the 146th Kentucky Oaks, on Friday, September 4 at Churchill Downs and was followed by G1 Alabama Stakes winner Swiss Skydiver.
