Yorkshire Oaks

This is the big race for Fillies at the York Ebor meeting and is one of the most prestigious races on the racing calendar in the UK. It is a Group One for three year old fillies and older and is very often contested by fillies who have either won or come close to winning the Epsom or Irish Oaks. Indeed Alexandrova won both of these races in 2006 before taking the honours in this, giving her an Oaks treble

The Yorkshire Oaks is a race that is more often not won by horses from the really big yards, such as Sir Michael Stoute or Aiden O'Brien. Stoute has had four winners in this race in the past 10 years. Three of those winners were ridden by former champion jockey, Kieran Fallon, who will be a jockey to follow in this race this year. The betting this year is a three way race between Sariska and Midday who have been rivals for some time now, and Snow Fairy is the dual Oaks winner this year so we are seeing a big clash of the ages.
