Can The Filly Beat The Boys? Blue Grass Stakes Betting Preview, Odds and Best Bets

We could be on the verge of witnessing horse racing history on Saturday afternoon.

A filly will be looking to defeat the boys for only the second time ever in the history of the Blue Grass Stakes. The 96th running, will have a possible 170 Kentucky Derby points at stake at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky.

Trainer Ken McPeek has decided to enter his star filly, Swiss Skydiver (3/1), into the Kentucky Derby discussion by stepping up to take on the boys. Swiss Skydiver enters the Blue Grass Stakes as the points leader atop the Kentucky Oaks standings and is in superb form winning each of her last three races.
