2012 Kentucky Oaks Graded Earnings List
Updated Monday, April 30, 2012
The Kentucky Oaks 138 Graded Stakes Earnings List will likely determine the participants in the 138th running of the $1 million Kentucky Oaks (Grade I) on Friday, May 4. The Kentucky Oaks field is limited to 14 starters, and graded stakes earnings accumulated in prestigious races on the “Road to the Kentucky Oaks” help determine the field for the 1 1/8-mile race. The Kentucky Oaks 138 Graded Stakes Earnings List includes all 3-year-old fillies who were made eligible to this year’s Kentucky Oaks at $200 per horse when the early nomination period closed Feb. 25. There also will be a late period for nominations at $1,500 each that will close on Wednesday, April 11. A supplementary nomination of $30,000 each may be made at the time of entry. In the case of a tie for the final entry position or the determination of all remaining starters, preference is given to horses that accumulated the highest earnings in non-restricted stakes races. If a tie still remains, the final spots in the starting gate will be determined by lot or a “shake.” For the first time since 1984, there will be an “also eligible” list with as many as four horses eligible to draw into the field until scratch time on Friday, May 4 at 9 a.m. ET.
