Impressive Victory for Ylang Ylang
Ylang Ylang, named after an exotic plant, showed her resilience and determination in a thrilling win at Newmarket. Jockey Ryan Moore delivered a brilliant ride to secure victory in a three-way battle for the Group 1 Fillies' Mile.
Cut for Next Year's Classics
Following her impressive performance, Ylang Ylang's odds for next year's Classics have been slashed. She is now a 10-1 shot for both the 1000 Guineas and Oaks.
Overcoming Challenges
Despite facing obstacles during the race, Ylang Ylang stayed focused and powered through. She lost momentum when two other horses veered into her path, but Moore skillfully guided her to victory, winning by half a length.
Aidan O'Brien's Training Mastery
Trainer Aidan O'Brien deserves credit for Ylang Ylang's success. This win marks his record-equalling sixth victory in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile. O'Brien humbly deflected praise to his team at Ballydoyle, but his expertise played a significant role in the filly's triumph.
Confidence in Ylang Ylang
The Coolmore team had faith in Ylang Ylang's ability to win this race. Despite recent setbacks, they backed her and their confidence paid off. O'Brien and Moore recognized her potential and were proven right.
Classic Filly in the Making
O'Brien believes that Ylang Ylang is a filly with Classic potential. While she could handle the 1000 Guineas, the Oaks trip is expected to suit her even better. Her versatility and determination make her a formidable competitor.
Ryan Moore Faces Suspension
Unfortunately, jockey Ryan Moore will be unable to ride in the Group 1 Futurity Trophy at Doncaster due to a five-day ban for careless riding. His absence leaves a gap in O'Brien's team, but Ballydoyle's Diego Velazquez is the favorite to fill the void.
