The full sister to Nathaniel, Great Heavens, wins the Darley Irish Oaks at Curragh yesterday.  Princess Highway the Street Cry filly was one I was looking forward to seing again in here, she finished third.

What a tremendous turn of foot from Great Heavens - she is well named.

Great Heavens lands Irish Oaks

It wasn't as plain-sailing as the result suggests as she lost her position under William Buick in the straight and was a little short of room when about to start her challenge.

But, when switched into the clear in the centre of the track, she finished her race with relish, outstaying all of her rivals in the testing conditions for a clear-cut success.

Interesting.  I feel like if they are going to be that strict about it, they ought to take it away completely - but in the same sense, the whip is often more used as an aid - jockeys don't have the ability to use their legs to tell horses to stop moving to the left/right or to straighten out - it is all done by hand - so the whip can help a horse that is not very good at listening to the hand aids (If that makes sense?)  Thank you for the information :-)

Nice race!  Very good turn of foot!  I like that Street Cry filly too, will have to keep an eye on how she continues doing :-)

Oh what an exciting finish!  Happy for Danedream - sad that Deep Brilliante was not brilliant on this day but there will be others, this was the filly's day, she got Nathaniel who ran a really nice race in the King George.

O'Brien plays it safe with 11 entries in the St Leger

 BY PAUL EACOTT1:01PM 25 JUL 2012 

AIDAN O'BRIEN may have red-hot favourite Camelot entered in the Ladbrokes St Leger but he is taking no chances in his bid to become the first trainer to complete a clean sweep of British Classics as he is responsible for almost a third of the 36 entries.
