Joseph O’Brien is looking forward to further top-level events in the autumn after proudly watching Wemightakedlongway finish second to his father’s Minnie Hauk in the Juddmonte Irish Oaks.

The daughter of Australia was fourth to Minnie Hauk in the Epsom equivalent in June before not being disgraced when dropping back to 10 furlongs and filling the same spot in the Curragh’s Pretty Polly Stakes next time.
