As the only format turf horse race on the west coast of the United States, the American Oaks is one of the most sought after and prized horse races on the annual horseracing calendar, which is why its attracts the top 3-year-old fillies from around the country and abroad.

It's not surprising then that My Baby Baby owner and trainer, Ken McPeek, is hoping that his long cross-country trip, accompanied by his family, will not be in vain, especially after My Baby Baby's recent top form. The filly recently won a 1 1/16 mile first-level allowance race on turf at Churchill Downs.

Said McPeek, 'After My Baby Baby ran a superb race in Churchill Downs last month, the extra distance of the American Oaks shouldn't be an issue because she'll run all day. I am concerned though about the fact that she drew the outside post in the field of 12, which will make her task harder.'

As the third favorite at 12-1, My Baby Baby will be up against some tough competition including fellow Kentucky runner, Pure Clan, who recently won the Pure Stakes and was fortunate enough to draw the rail, making her the American Oaks' favorite at 7-2.

The second place favorite at 9-2 is the Irish filly, Caribbean Sunset, who finished third a few weeks ago in the prestigious Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, England. The $750,000 American Oaks is scheduled as the 9th and headlining race of an 11-race card that kicks off noon on Saturday.

Another notable race on the day is the 3rd race of the day, the $100,000 Hollywood Juvenile Champion (Grade 3), which is the first of five stakes races scheduled at Hollywood Park. The six-furlong race will be contended between ten 2-year-olds, each seeking his first stakes win.
