Kentucky Oaks' field set with Gamine, Swiss Skydiver favored in Friday's race at Churchill Downs

The draw for the $1.25 million, Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks was held Monday.

Gamine, trained by Bob Baffert, is the even-money favorite. Swiss Skydiver, who drew the No. 1 post position, is the second choice in the morning line at 8-5 odds.

The Oaks is set for 5:45 p.m. Friday as part of the postponed Kentucky Derby Week. Run the day before the Kentucky Derby, this year's race for 3-year-old fillies was postponed from May to September due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The race will be televised live by the NBC Sports Network.
