Amelia Earhart Wins Cheshire Oaks to Lead Betfred Oaks Market

The decisive trial win resets the Epsom pecking order.

Overview

  • Amelia Earhart, who took the Weatherbys Cheshire Oaks on Wednesday, beat I'm The One by two lengths under Ryan Moore.
  • Bookmakers cut her Betfred Oaks odds to between 3-1 and 5-1 as I'm The One eased to roughly 9-2 to 7-1.
  • Moore said she handled trip and ground, and the Camelot filly’s dam Venus De Milo won over 1½ miles, pointing to stamina for Epsom.
  • The win gave Aidan O’Brien a tenth Cheshire Oaks and came in a trial that has produced three Epsom Oaks winners in the last ten years.
  • William Buick said I'm The One lost momentum blowing the last bend at tight-turning Chester but picked up experience for a Classic campaign.
