Answer 1

This site should keep you informed of the contenders and prep races leading up to the Kentucky Oaks.

Answer 2

These days they could come from anywhere. But traditionally winter racing only took place, in the warmer climates, such as Hialeah, Gulstream in Florida, Fairgrounds in Louisiana, and the southern California track, Santa Anita i think has the winter dates.

So traditionally this is where fillies would be prepped, but nowadays with all year round racing(not a good thing in my opinion) and airplanes a filly can prep, literally anywhere.
