Lacking a standout, Virginia Oaks mimics Kentucky Oaks points race
There's nothing approaching a standout right now among Kentucky Oaks hopefuls, nor is there one among eight 3-year-old fillies entered Saturday in the Virginia Oaks at Colonial Downs. The $250,000 Virginia Oaks, contested over 1 1/16 miles around one turn, and run for the first time on dirt, serves a nominal prep toward the Kentucky Oaks.
