The Kentucky Oaks had a full field of fourteen fillies, with Lemons Forever posting the worst odds, at 47-1. She trailed throughout the race, only to rally late and win by 1 1/2 lengths.

A $2 bet on Lemons Forever paid $96.20, and a $2 trifecta paid $12,186.60.

She did not make a run for the Triple Tiara of Thoroughbred Racing, the filly equivalent of the Triple Crown, as she did not compete in the second leg of the competition, the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, on May 19.

Lemons Forever was sired by Lemon Drop Kid. Her dam was the Argentinian Thoroughbred mare Critikola.
