Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 1, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 1, 2018 Still a maiden entering Friday’s G1 Investec Oaks at Epsom, Forever Together (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) left that tag at the start as she powered to a 4 1/2-length success from Wild Illusion (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) under the 2000 Guineas-winning jockey Donnacha O’Brien. Settled in a share of third early along with that 5-2 favourite, the 7-1 shot who had been second in the May 9 Listed Cheshire Oaks was brought stand’s side and had the Godolphin rival’s measure approaching the two-furlong pole. Staying on stoutly to the line, the bay provided her trainer with a seventh renewal in the process as stablemate Bye Bye Baby (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) trailed by another 3 1/2 lengths in third. “She was very impressive and I got a beautiful trip through the race,” her rider commented. “I got onto the rail and she was very genuine and galloped out to the line very well. She’s a proper staying filly and I should have been a lot closer at Chester. When the rain came I was a bit worried, but she handled it well. I didn’t expect her to do that, but it all played out perfectly and the stand’s rail seems the place to be. Dad’s an absolute genius and does things I don’t understand. He tweaks little things and brings out massive improvement in them.” FOREVER TOGETHER (IRE), 126, f, 3, Galileo (Ire)–Green Room, by Theatrical (Ire). (€900,000 Ylg ’16 GOFORB).
