INVESTEC OAKS

AIDAN O’Brien has known many wonderful days at Epsom and one or two of them may have surprised him. However, there is surely nothing to compare with the 50/1 triumph of Qualify in yesterday’s Group 1 Investec Oaks, the daughter of Fastnet Rock getting up in the dying strides to deny 5/2 favourite Legatissimo by a short-head and save the bookmakers a massive pay-out. It was O’Brien’s fifth Epsom triumph in the most prestigious race for fillies.
