STAR Catcher was an impressive winner of the Kerrygold Irish Oaks at the Curragh last Saturday. True, she got the best ride, but it is difficult to argue that she was not the best filly in the race on the day.

Her fast closing sectional tells you that Frankie Dettori engineered an easy lead for himself, and Fleeting did well to come from fifth place, just over three lengths behind the winner passing the three-furlong marker, to challenge John Gosden’s filly deep inside the final furlong.
