Easy For Love In the Yorkshire Oaks
Thursday’s G1 Darley Yorkshire Oaks looked there for the taking for the G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and it was easier than expected as Ryan Moore proved just a passenger on Ballydoyle’s leading Arc prospect. Travelling smoothly in second tracking Manuela de Vega (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), the 4-9 favourite only needed to be shaken up to take control approaching two out and she was totally dominant from there en route to a five-length success from Alpinista (GB) (Frankel {GB}), with One Voice (Ire) (Poet’s Voice {GB}) two lengths behind in third as they finished strung out.
