Kentucky Oaks Winner is Blind Luck

Blind Luck dominated the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs, beating favorite Rachel Alexandra, winner of the 2009 Kentucky Oaks and the 2009 Preakness.

Blind Luck, ridden by jockey Rafael Bejarano, stayed off the pace for much of the race, and looked like she might not have enough to come home for the win. But Bejarano took Blind Luck wide to the outside, then slowly made up ground against Evening Jewel, and the two fillies ran neck and neck down the stretch, the lead changing with every head bob. In a photo finish, Blind Luck won by the length of a nostril.
