Kentucky Oaks 2026 live updates: Latest odds, picks and today’s post times at Churchill Downs
A longshot winner of any horse race is always exhilarating. Not just for those who have money on that specific horse but the jockey and trainer, who poured countless hours into making sure the animal is race ready, getting the chance to celebrate that unexpected glory.
For the Kentucky Oaks, the longest-shot winner was Lemons Forever. In 2006, this filly horse entered the race with 47-1 odds.
She trailed for the majority of the race, before blazing ahead to win by 1 1/2 lengths.
After this surprise victory, Lemons Forever raced ten more times. She only captured victory one more time after Kentucky Oaks.
Lemons Forever retired in 2007 and was sold for $2.5 million. She produced five foals, with four of them becoming winners.
