Believe You Can wins the 2012 Kentucky Oaks


Rosie, oh Rosie. Napravnik, that is. The diminutive jockey rode Believe You Can in outstanding stalking fashion to win the 138th running of the Kentucky Oaks.

Broadway’s Alibi took off in good order to lead for most of the race with Believe You Can in tow. In deep stretch the daughter of Proud Citizen answered Rosie’s call to win by a scant ¾ of a length. Broadway’s Alibi ran second with Grace Hall third and Summer Applause fourth.

Napravnik is the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Oaks.  The winner paid $29.00 to win.
