Darley Oaks option open to Surf

Roger Varian will decide closer to the race whether Shimmering Surf will make a quick reappearance in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks after her fine run in France on Saturday.

The four-year-old filly finished second to Andre Fabre’s La Pomme D’Amour, owned by Yorkshireman Guy Reed, in the Prix de Pomone at Deauville.
