Pretty special Minding plays part in Aidan O’Brien four-timer

English Guineas and Oaks winner Minding fulfilled expectations with a stylish display against older fillies in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes on the final day of the Derby meeting at the Curragh.

Prohibitively priced, at 1-5, the Aidan O’Brien-trained filly settled nicely in third place as Bocca Baciata attempted to control the race from the front.

The latter raced some eight lengths clear leaving the back, but there were no signs of panic from Ryan Moore, aboard the favourite.
