Venus de Milo hard to oppose

Venus de Milo is hard to oppose in the featured Group 3 Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Give Thanks Stakes at Cork this evening.

Aidan O’Brien’s three-year-old has between 12lbs and 25lbs in hand of her five rivals and, on that basis, is an automatic selection.

The daughter of Duke Of Marmalade has made extraordinary progress, in a short space of time. Unraced as a juvenile, she made a winning debut in a maiden at Fairyhouse in June and followed by taking a Listed race at Naas.
