The 2011 Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs' schedule includes a post time shortly after 5 pm ET, to be aired live on Versus. The fillies' race has been run nearly as long as the Kentucky Derby itself, the United States' longest continually run sporting event. Just a few days shy, in fact.
Be sure to read our detailed breakdown of the Kentucky Oaks' field of contenders, along with odds and a list of picks by our resident horse racing expert. Joyful Victory is the 5/2 favorite, with Kathmanblu and Zazu close behind at 4/1. SPOILER ALERT: 20/1 Daisy Devine is the filly for you, having been granted a favorable No. 9 draw.
The 2011 Kentucky Derby post time is at 6:24 p.m. (ET) on Saturday, May 7th and SB Nation has everything you need to prepare for it - current Derby odds, contender profiles, field updates and more. You can find all of that and more at our 2011 Kentucky Derby StoryStream.
