Proud Spell Clobbers Oaks Field

Proud Spell

Proud Spell won the Kentucky Oaks moving away from the field. From the final turn on in, it was all Proud Spell.

The wet track appears to have kept the field close, and the pace more like a grass race. It was close up until the final furlong.

Proud Spell rated off pace leader Bsharpsonata into the stretch run. That is when Proud Spell started pulling away from the field, eventually winning by 4 plus lengths.

Proud Spell went 1 1/8 miles in 1:50.01.
