Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 21, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 21, 2018 Having dodged Epsom and Royal Ascot, the Tsui family’s Sea of Class (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) proved she had the right material for the big occasion on Saturday as she was delivered in the nick of time by a supremely-confident James Doyle to take The Curragh’s G1 Darley Irish Oaks. Allowed to coast in last throughout, the 11-4 second favourite was only asked to close with less than two furlongs remaining but had the talent to get to the Epsom heroine Forever Together (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the final yards and deny her an Oaks double by a neck. Mary Tudor (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) was 1 1/2 lengths behind in third, while the heavily-supported 10-11 favourite Magic Wand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was a major disappointment almost 10 lengths back in fifth.
