Saturday was also the last big qualifying day for the Kentucky Oaks, the 3-year-old filly version of the Kentucky Derby.

He also has Thorpedo Anna, a filly who won six of seven races this year including the Kentucky Oaks and Breeders’ Cup Distaff.

Saturday’s win helped both claim rare weekend sweeps of the Derby and Kentucky Oaks for fillies.

The party usually gets started well before the main event: On Friday, a crowd watched a race for fillies, the Kentucky Oaks.

The filly went wire to wire in the 150th Kentucky Oaks on Friday, pulling away from a charging Just F Y I to win by 4 3/4 lengths in the slop at Churchill Downs.
