Certain things give me a strong hunch that, not Baraka, but All too Beautful may be Aidan O’Brien’s best prospect for the Oaks, and could be as special, or nearly, as her brother, Galileo. She could scarcely be better bred and has already shown she can perform very well on the track. The combination of the two is usually a very persuasive indicator.
But the relative silence about her from the camp, and Ladbroke’s interest is kind of making my antennas twitch.
Still, I have a bet on Sundrop and a wee saver on Baraka (apparently Arabic for having nine lives sort of thing – divine protection in accidents) at 14s with SO.
