PhotoHow to Watch Kentucky Oaks: Date: Friday, May 2, 2025 Time: 1:00 PM EDT Channel: USA Network Stream: Fubo (Try for free) 14 horses were set to run on Friday, but Five G has already scratched. The current favorite is Good Cheer, ridden by Luis Saez and trained by Brad Cox. At 6-5 odds, a Good Cheer win wouldn't be shocking at all. Cox last won the Oaks in 2020 with Shedaresthedevil. But there are several other horses to keep an eye on. The Bob Baffert-trained Tenma starts from the No. 9 post, which should be an advantage with the No. 8 post open after the Five G scratch. Jockey Juan Hernandez will look to give Baffert his first Kentucky Oaks win since 2017, when Mike E. Smith won riding Abel Tasman. McPeek will look to train consecutive Oaks winners with Take Charge Milady, a horse that's a bit more of a longshot at 15-1. The last trainer to win consecutive Oaks was D. Wayne Lukas, all the way back in 1990 and 1991. Watch the Kentucky Oaks on Friday on USA Network at 1:00 PM EDT. Live stream the Kentucky Oaks on Fubo: Start your free trial now!
