How To Bet on The Oaks
The 2020 edition of the Epsom Oakes Stakes will be taking place on July 4th, 2020.
The Oaks Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race that is open to all 3-year old fillies.
The race is contested at Epsom Downs in Epsom, England, and has been run since the late 1700s. The race is also known as the Investec Oaks, Epsom Oaks or just "The Oaks".
This is the third of the Classic Races to take place during the horse racing season and the middle leg of the Fillies' Triple Crown.
The track is a left-handed turf track that clocks in at a little over 2.4 kilometres.
All of the horses in the race will carry nine stone.

The purse for this race is substantial, as £500,000 was paid out for the 2018 race, with a little under £300,000 going to the eventual winner, Forever Together.
Anapurna won last year’s race and was ridden by Frankie Dettori and trained by John Gosden.
Gosden and Aidan O’Brien have dominated the event in recent years, as they have combined to win the last six Epsom Oaks races.
