Minding overcomes trouble to land Oaks

 BY JACK HAYNES4:35PM 3 JUN 2016 

Report: Epsom, Friday,   Investec Oaks (Group 1) 1m4f10y, 3yo fillies

ANY doubts over stamina or stalls were brushed aside by Minding, who overcame trouble on the turn to the straight to become the first filly since Kazzia in 2002 to complete the 1,000 Guineas and Oaks double.

Aidan O’Brien’s daughter of Galileo landed her fourth Group 1 success just 12 days after finishing second to Jet Setting in the Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas, though it didn’t look particularly likely three furlongs out.

As Ryan Moore attempted to make his move aboard the odds-on favourite, the retreating pair of Australian Queen and Turret Rocks pinned her in with Moore being forced to switch to the rail.

However, as soon as she saw daylight, it was clear there was only going to be one winner as Minding ranged upsides eventual second Architecture two furlongs out before securing a length-and-three-quarter win with Harlequeen eight lengths back in third.

‘She’s much the best’

Moore said: “I had a charmed run and then the boys all wanted to get moving and came on top of me. She had nowhere to go but thankfully she got me out of trouble.

“She’s much the best, she’s a very good filly. Her class got her out of trouble and she’ll be effective at shorter, for sure.”

Cut for the Arc

Paddy Power shortened the star filly to 5-1 (from 12) for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and O’Brien is set to give her a “little easy time” before finalising plans for the rest of the season.

O’Brien said: “She’s incredible, what can I say? She has speed, class, stamina and a great mind. She has everything and Ryan did brilliantly to win after what she went through.

“Real heart and guts and courage had to come into it with a furlong and a half to go and she had it in abundance.

“Like all the Galileos, when you go digging, they usually have it. We will give her a little easy time now and then pick a time for her.”

‘I’m hugely proud of her’

Hugo Palmer’s Architecture posted a career-best performance in second with the Newmarket trainer “hugely proud” of his filly.

Palmer said: “There were several moments in the race when I thought we had won but my God, the winner is good.

“Frankie said she should be very competitive again in Ireland and she’s proved she’s a proper, top class, Group 1 filly. She’ll just have to avoid Covert Love now!”

VENERDÌ 3 GIUGNO 2016 #Epsom: #Minding spaziale nelle #Oaks, buona #Architecture seconda. Nelle Diomed riecco #Tullius. A Catterick la prima Frankel femmina impressiona..

 
 
Poteva perdere solo se la buttavano di sotto. Minding (Galileo), non solo ha reagito rimanendo in piedi al Tattenham Corner quando in un momento di confusione ha rischiato di farla finire per le terre, ma in pochi tempi di galoppo si è ricongiunta con il gruppo, lo ha circumnavigato ed ha vinto le Oaks G1 con immenso stile e battendo la fuggitiva Architecture (Zoffany), allevata da Massimo Passamonti, sulla quale Frankie Dettori stava compiendo una magia anticipando al momento giusto, con al terzo Harlequeen (Canford Cliffs) ma a distanza siderale dalle prime due. Minding non solo ha vinto. Ha stravinto dominando la corsa in lungo ed in largo diventando la prima femmina, dopo Kazzia nel 2002, a vincere le 1000 Ghinee e le Oaks inglesi. Minding ha praticamente sbagliato solo le 1000 Ghinee Irish perchè ha trovato sulla sua strada una cavalla forte sul pesante, e dopo aver patito una testata alle gabbie di partenza. Ma alla resa dei conti ha dimostrato di essere una cavalla da miglio e mezzo, ma fortissima. Forse abbiamo trovato una “special one”. 
 
Ryan Moore è stato freddissimo a condurre la cavalla allenata da Padre Aidan facendola involare verso la vittoria. Paddy Power, vista la corsa, ha reagito tagliando la quota di Minding per l’Arc de Triomphe G1 da 12/1 a 5/1, e non è un obiettivo impossibile per una cavalla che ha forza, fisico e soprattutto tanta testa. IL RISULTATO COMPLETO QUIIL VIDEO DELLE OAKS QUI.
Nelle Diomed Stakes G3 c’è stato il ritorno alla vittoria di Tullius (Le Vie Dei Colori) a 8 anni dopo una prima parte di stagione non proprio al massimo, e per la prima volta con il visor. Ritirato Arod per via del terreno soffice, ma che si è poi via via rassodato, il figlio di Le Vie Dei Colori allevato dalla Archi Romani ha fulminato sul palo Decorated Knight con Atzeni a bordo con al terzo Custom Cut rimasto in quota. IL VIDEO DELLA CORSA QUIIL RISULTATO COMPLETO QUI.
 
Al di la delle corse di Epsom, a Catterick è andato in scena un convegno ordinario impreziosito dalla presenza della prima figlia femmina di Frankel in pista. Lei si chiama Queen Kindly, è saura, allenata da Richard Fahey, ed aveva in sella Jamie Spencer. Ha battuto con stile Katebird, l’unica che aveva esperienza, per Mark Johnston con 5 lunghezze di margine. Queen Kindly, da favorita fino a 2/5, è un prodotto della fattrice Lady Of The Desert(Rahy), della famiglia di Dylan ThomasIL VIDEO DELLA CORSA QUI.
