A similar series to “The Road to the Kentucky Derby’ remains in place for 2014-15 to qualify for the Derby’s sister race, the $1 million Longines Kentucky Oaks for 3-year-old fillies on Friday, May 1, 2015. The lone change to the 31-race “Road to the Kentucky Oaks” series is the addition of the $350,000 Starlet, a 1 1/16-mile “Prep Season” race scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 13 at Los Alamitos. Like the Futurity, the Starlet also had been previously run at Hollywood Park.
