Oxx on weather watch

John Oxx is praying the rain stays away from the Curragh to allow My Titania to get her shot at Classic glory in tomorrow’s Etihad Airways Irish 1,000 Guineas.

The three-year-old is a daughter of the incredible Sea The Stars and as she also carries the same colours of Oxx’s horse of a lifetime, those of owner Christopher Tsui, she has unsurprisingly attracted plenty of attention since day one.

She has done the business on the racecourse so far, winning two of her three juvenile starts including the Group Three C.L. Weld Park Stakes, but was a late withdrawal from the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket earlier this month following an unsatisfactory scope just days before the race.
