Some 20 years ago, Lemons Forever (Lemon Drop Kid) parlayed a close third-place effort in Turfway Park's Bourbonette Oaks into one of the biggest upsets in the history of the Kentucky Oaks, lighting up the tote to the tune of 47-1 on the first Friday in May at Churchill Downs.With her victory in this year's renewal, Skychai Racing's LORELEI LEE (f, 3, Nyquist–Marilyn Monroan, by Tapit) picked up a valuable 50 points on the Road to the Oaks, for which she was not originally nominated, as she was given a positive ride from a high draw by Fernando de la Cruz and proved not for catching.A debut winner over six furlongs at this venue Jan. 8 and an allowance third Feb. 21, the bay was given a dig after scratching down into the eight hole and Lorelei Lee was outfooted to the front by the rail-drawn Cincinnati Trophy heroine Resplendence (Justify), but De La Cruz was intent on making the front and secured that spot midway on the first turn.The recipient of a bit of a breather through the middle furlongs and under a nice, long hold, Lorelei Lee was past the half in a moderate :49.77–an internal quarter in a pokey :25.70–and was showing no signs of stopping as the Bourbonette Oaks field raced as De La Cruz went for her in earnest around the final turn. Resist (Maclean's Music) and shortly thereafter Lovely Grey (Vekoma) emerged as final-furlong dangers, but Lorelei Lee stuck her neck out to prevail by about three-parts of a length.Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-1.
