O’Brien Bids To Spoil Party At York With Alluringly
Written 2 months ago by Will O'Callaghan
The form book suggests Alluringly faces a huge task if she is to provide Aidan O’Brien with a fifth win in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks today.
The Ballydoyle filly has met Enable three times this season and after running the big-race favourite to a length and three-quarters in the Cheshire Oaks, the daughter of Fastnet Rock was trounced by Enable in both the Oaks and Irish Oaks.
Alluringly, a Listed winner at Gowran on her most recent start, will be attempting to follow Ballydoyle’s Alexandrova, Peeping Fawn, Tapestry and Seventh Heaven on the Yorkshire Oaks roll of honour.
O’Brien said: “We decided to send Alluringly back up in distance as we felt it would be worth giving her another shot at a mile and a half. She’s in good form and we’re just hoping she runs a good race.”
