Overview

• The Frankel filly surged clear to beat Estrange by three and a half lengths, becoming the eighth to complete the Oaks treble and giving Aidan O’Brien a record-equalling ninth Yorkshire Oaks win.
• O’Brien said she now sits at the top of Ballydoyle’s Arc pecking order and also remains under consideration for the Breeders’ Cup Turf.
• Bookmakers shortened her Arc odds after York, with Paddy Power cutting her to 8-1 and William Hill to 10-1.
• Racing Post Ratings awarded a provisional 124+ figure, matching Enable’s three-year-old mark and reinforcing her 1½-mile credentials.
• Runner-up Estrange posted a career-best on quicker ground and her connections kept an Arc bid in play, dependent on conditions at Longchamp.
