The 2022 Longines Kentucky Oaks on May 6 at Churchill Downs drew a spectacular crowd to the Louisville venue despite ominous weather forecasts for steady rain. Instead, the inclement weather held out for much of the day as fans enjoyed a fantastic day celebrating the fillies under the Twin Spires, and there were still plenty of smiles when the rain started to fall late in the afternoon.
