With thunderstorms possible after 5 pm, pleasant temperatures greeted the Kentucky Oaks (G1) day crowd arriving the morning of May 2 at Churchill Downs. As the field went to post for the first race, the main track was listed as fast with firm turf.
The high temperature is expected to reach 78 degrees.
Post time for the 151st Kentucky Oaks (G1) is 5:51, with storms expected to pass through Louisville, Ky., around 6 p.m.
