2022 Kentucky Oaks odds, horses, lineup: Uncanny bettor releases full leaderboard, top picks

The 2022 Kentucky Oaks takes place on Friday, May 6 at 5:51 p.m. ET at Churchill Downs. Nest is a slight 5-2 favorite in the 2022 Kentucky Oaks odds while Kathleen is at 7-2 and Echo Zulu is at 4-1.

Before locking in any picks for the race that features the nation's best fillies, you ABSOLUTELY need to see what our resident horse racing guru, Jody Demling, has to say.

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling has been on-point with his horse racing bets. He hit the exacta in the Wood Memorial in April. Last year, he hit the exacta, trifecta and superfecta in the Belmont Stakes. 

This is the same handicapper who hit the Derby-Oaks double at Churchill Downs nine times in the last 13 years. That means he held a ticket with the winners of both the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby all but four times in his last 13 tries!  

In addition, at one point in 2020, he picked the winners of six straight races: the Saudi Cup, Gotham Stakes, Rebel Stakes, Louisiana Derby, Florida Derby and Belmont Stakes. Anyone who has followed him on these races is WAY UP.

For the 2022 Kentucky Oaks, we can tell you Demling is fading Kathleen, even though she is undefeated and one of the favorites in the 2022 Kentucky Oaks odds. In fact, Demling says Kathleen fails to hit the board!

Instead, Demling is especially high on a HUGE double-digit underdog who has "a real chance to win this race!" If you include her in your exotics, you could be looking at a colossal payday.
