In local culture

Despite the increasing number of out-of-state visitors who came to the race every year, the "Oaks" (as local residents simply refer to it) has always been considered to be a local event by the people of Kentuckiana

). Large crowds of Louisvillians and others from the Kentuckiana attend the Oaks annually and the infield of the race track hosts numerous musical attractions, boardwalk games, and food and alcoholic beverage vendors. Bringing in one's own alcohol is forbidden at Churchill Downs and many locals revel in finding ingenious ways to smuggle in their own libations, rather than pay the inflated prices inside Churchill Downs. Most every school and quite a few businesses in the Kentuckiana region treat the Oaks as a holiday. Perhaps out of self-consciousness for the gambling aspect of the race, none of the region's schools declare that the holiday is explicitly because of the Oaks and most simply say it is an "administrative holiday."

Changes in distance

The Kentucky Oaks has been run at four different distances:
  • 1875-1890, the race was 1½ miles;
  • 1891-1895, it was 1¼ miles;
  • 1896-1919, it was 1 1/16 miles;
  • 1920-1941, changed to 1⅛ miles;
  • 1942-1981, run at 1 1/16 miles; and
  • 1982, set at 1⅛ miles, and it has been that distance since.

Records

Speed record:
  • The fastest time to finish the 1⅛ mile race is 1:48.64 set in 2003 by Bird Town. The fastest time for the 1½ mile race is 2:39 by the horses Felicia set in 1877, tied by Belle of Nelson in 1878 and tied again Katie Creel in 1882. The 1¼ mile race record is held by Selika set in 1894 at 2:15. The record for the 1 1/16 mile race is 1:43.6 set be Ari’s Mona in 1950 and tied by Sweet Alliance in 1977.
