Pleascach lands Yorkshire Oaks
JIM Bolger-trained 1,000 Guineas winner Pleascach pipped favourite Covert Love in a thrilling finish to the Yorkshire Oaks yesterday.
Jockey Kevin Manning overtook the Irish Oaks winner deep inside the final furlong at York to triumph by a neck and hand Bolger a first victory in the Ebor Festival race since 2008.
“She battled all the way to the line and she’s done it very well,” said Manning. “I thought she was back to her best when I rode her work last week.”
