JUDDMONTE sponsored the Group 1 Irish Oaks on Saturday, a race they won with the great Enable eight years ago. They did not have a runner this year, but the result was still a great one for the large team who had travelled from their farms in Ireland and England to enjoy the day.

As expected, Minnie Hauk added the Irish classic to her win in the Group 1 Oaks at Epsom, and this was her fourth victory in just five starts. Her blacktype winning sequence started when she took the honours in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester. Minnie Hauk’s only defeat came on her two-year-old debut when she was second to Wemightakedlongway, the filly who made a race of the Juddmonte Irish Oaks but had to settle for the runner-up spot.
