Sariska takes Irish Oaks victory
Sariska, trained by Michael Bell and ridden by Jamie Spencer, cruised to victory in the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh today to complete a Classic double.
Having had to battle all the way to deny Midday in the Epsom equivalent last month, it was a totally different story as the even-money favourite sauntered hard-held all the way up the straight to win with her head in her chest.
Long-time leader Roses For The Lady was a gallant second with Henry Cecil's Midday having to settle for third this time on ground probably softer than ideal.
