Good Cheer set out on Friday to get the 151th Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs and to win the seventh race when many careers started.
A sloppy runway, 1-1/8 mile grade 1 Stakes race in 1: 50.15, 32-1 Drexel Hill'i 100.910 crowd by defeating about three lengths of 6-5 betting favorite did not slow down.
Jockey Luis Saez protected the 3 -year -old mare by Medaglia d'Oro from the speed arranged by Tenma and La Cara. The good cheer was eighth between 13 areas along the back. La Cara briefly led to a tenma, led by a neck led by the last turn, but the good cheer sent by Saez was rapidly passed through the mare trained by Bob Baffert.
Drexel Hill and 17-1 Blow The Broken also passed the front runners, but he could not keep up with the Stakes winners five times.
He also marked Good Cheer's second win on a wet track.
Tenma settled in the fourth place.
He paid $ 4.78 to win a favorite, $ 3.62 and paid $ 3.02 to show. Drexel Hill paid $ 21.02 and $ 11.76, Bless The Broken paid $ 7.48.
Trainer Brad Cox won his third victory in one of the best races for the 3 -year -old Fillies in the United States. Louisville native previously won with Monomoy Girl in 2018 and two years later with Shedaresthedhevil.
Good Cheer, the owner of Godolphin, LLC will receive a $ 1.5 million guaranteed bag.
The closed runway was a storm resulting in the afternoon of Friday in Louisville. The violence caused track officials to pause the competition until passing. This delayed the start of the race for about 10 minutes.
After being disqualified for a unsuccessful drug test of Medina Spirit, COX won the tangerogy Derby in 2021 and will have a chance for Oaks-Derby Double while educating the final gambitini in the 3-year-old race on Saturday. Kenny Mcpeek, another Kentucky native instructor, realized Oaks-Derby Double last year with Thorpedo Anna and Mystics Dan.
