Stellar Wind the Oaks favorite; see full draw

Churchill Downs drew Tuesday morning for this Friday's $1 million Longines Kentucky Oaks, the signature race for 3-year-old fillies, in which trainer John Sadler's Stellar Wind was made the favorite in a full field of 14.

Other top contenders include Larry Jones' I'm a Chatterbox (4-1), Rudy Rodriguez's Condo Commando (4/1) and Jones' Lovely Maria (5-1) off her win in Keeneland's Central Bank Ashland.

Jockey Victor Espinoza, Stellwar Wind's rider, will also be aboard expected favorite American Pharoah in Saturday's Kentucky Derby. By two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, Stellar Wind enters the Oaks having won three straight, including the Grade I Santa Anita Oaks.

"I like being the favorite," Sadler said. "As long as you're in the top group, it doesn't matter if they make you 3-1 or 2-1. I think the other short-priced fillies are really good. It's a tough year to be a long shot."

Both of trainer Bob Baffert's possible entries -- Luminance and Maybellene -- will look for other spots. That allowed Dallas Stewart's Forever Unbridled and Kelly Breen's Money'soncharlotte spots in the Oaks. Also-eligible Peace and War, winner of Keeneland's Darley Alcibiades Stakes but seventh in the Ashland, has until 9 a.m. Friday for a scratch to make it to the gate as an also-eligible.

Untapable won last year's Oaks under recently retired jockey Rosie Napravnik and went on to take champion 3-year-old filly honors.
