BOTH the group races in Ireland in the period under review resulted in decent timefigures, with Flight Risk registering a 112 in landing the Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown and Santa Monica responsible for a 104 in a more hard-fought success from Butterflies in the Munster Oaks at Cork.

That was not the only ‘Oaks’ taking place on Sunday if you include the French version at Chantilly, the Prix de Diane.
