Good Cheer wins Kentucky Oaks, results from other Churchill Downs races today

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Good Cheer didn’t start out well, but the favorite authored a dominant closing run to win the 151st Kentucky Oaks.

Good Cheer was a 6-5 favorite at post time and was as low as eighth in the 14-horse race early on. Bob Baffert’s Tenma had the early lead, but Good Cheer came on strong on the outside and ended up winning by multiple lengths.

This is trainer Brad H. Cox’s third Kentucky Oaks win. He also won in 2018 with Monomoy Girl and in 2020 with Shedaresthedevil. He can go for the Oaks-Kentucky Derby double tomorrow with Final Gambit.

A $2 bet on Good Cheer paid out at $4.78.
