Beauty gets classic chance in Darley Irish Oaks

BEAUTY O’Gwaun will get her crack at the big time when she tackles the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh on Sunday.

Currabeg trainer John Oxx took the filly out of last month’s English equivalent as he felt the Epsom Classic would have been too much for her at that stage of her career after just two races.

However, with another month on her back and with the Curragh being on the doorstep, Oxx believes this is a more suitable opportunity for the unbeaten daughter of Rainbow Quest, owned and bred by Neil Jones.
