As a race that often features the best of its division, the $500,000 Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) has seen over three dozen of its winners go on to be crowned champion 3-year-old filly at the end of their campaigns. On Saturday, Nest made a strong case for year-end honors in the 106th renewal of the prestigious test, turning the tables on Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner Secret Oath with a 12 1/4-length victory at Saratoga Race Course.
