Fawn breezes to more glory in Yorkshire Oaks

AN amazing fourth consecutive Group One inside the space of eight weeks went the way of Peeping Fawn as Aidan O’Brien’s iron lady overpowered her rivals in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York yesterday.

Unraced as a two-year-old, the daughter of Danehill has thrived on her busy schedule this summer and was scoring for the fifth time from 10 starts as she cantered home under hands and heels riding from Johnny Murtagh.

Murtagh, very much the jockey of the moment, was content to see Trick Or Treat bowl along at the head of affairs and brought his mount down the outside of the pack to take control two furlongs out.
