Oaks Number 11 For O’Brien As Frankel’s Minnie Hauk Leads Stable One Two

[Wandering Eyes]

Ballydoyle's dominance was again on display in Friday's G1 Betfred Oaks as Frankel's Minnie Hauk led home Wootton Bassett's Whirl for a stable one-two. Only getting started when winning the Listed Cheshire Oaks last month, the 9-2 second favourite sauntered around behind that companion before being committed by Ryan Moore heading to two out. Soon in command, the Derrick Smith colour-bearer was possibly idling as she let the Musidora winner Twirl back in close home and gave extra when joined near the line to prevail by a neck. There was a four-length gap back to the 11-10 favourite Desert Flower, with that daughter of Night Of Thunder never looking happy in her quest for the 1,000 Guineas-Oaks double.
