Laughing Lashes a worthy Oaks contender

PATHFORK has been withdrawn from the Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh today as he suffered a bit of a setback.

At the moment, we’re not sure what the prognosis is so I can’t really say too much about it. We’ll know more in the coming days but obviously it is a big disappointment to be missing out today.

That means I have a rare day off but tomorrow will make up for that, particularly with Laughing Lashes a worthy contender in the Darley Irish Oaks. She has eight rivals in a hot field but it’s a Classic, so you’d expect nothing less.
