@MWEIGHTCHAMP, IMO, Fran Berry dropping his whip probably cost Laughing Lashes a better finish in the Irish Oaks than 4th. But I don't think I could say for 100% certain she would've won the race. The way the top 4 hit the wire in that blanket finish. Loads of potential. But she's been a "nearly filly" so far. Nearly beat Misty For Me in the Moyglare and Irish 1000 Guineas. Nearly won the Irish Oaks, etc... She's in a very deep field at York. Even without Snow Fairy. Maybe too deep? TJMO.

@traviswbanks laughing lashes for yorkshire oaks

A shame Ryan Moore can not always get the mount on Snow Fairy. She is an entirely different runner with him in the saddle.

I'm hopeful that we get to see Midday, Snow Fairy, and Crystal Capella all 3 make the trek to York in August for the G1 Yorkshire Oaks. I think it would be very interesting to see all 3 of them in the same race again. This time over 12f instead of 10f. I also hope that Blue Bunting, Wonder of Wonders, and Banimpire are entered at York. If all of the fillies and mares that I've just listed show up at York? It could be one of the strongest renewals of the Yorkshire Oaks ever run, IMO.
