 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - One down, one very big one to go for Todd Pletcher. Horse racing's leading trainer won Friday when 3-year-old filly Rags to Riches rolled to victory in the $500,000 Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs, the first step in what Pletcher hopes is a historic weekend at the track.
"We'll savor this one," Pletcher said. "But tomorrow's THE one."
Pletcher has a record-tying five horses entered in Saturday's Kentucky Derby as he looks for his first win in the sport's biggest race. He can only hope his colts perform as well on the muck as his 3-year-old filly did in her fourth straight victory.
