Minnie Hauk hits another winning note in Yorkshire Oaks
One of two runners for Aidan O'Brien in the Group One feature, the daughter of Frankel came into the York Group One with Cheshire, English and Irish renewals on her CV this term and was ridden by Ryan Moore as the 8-15 favourite. Her stablemate Garden Of Eden set the pace and David O'Meara's Estrange did ensure the winner had a race, but the triumph was ultimately light work by three and a half lengths on the line. O'Brien said: 'She's beautiful, she does everything right, she cruises, she's a lovely mover and obviously the Arc and the Breeders' Cup Turf, all those races are there for her. 'Ryan said the (Breeders' Cup) Turf, so she's obviously given him an unbelievable feel. Ryan gave her a class ride, he was very cool on her. She is classy and he gave her a very confident ride. 'It wasn't going to be a Mickey Mouse race today, they were going to go an even gallop without going crazy. Ryan has always said the stronger the tempo, the better we're going to see. 'She's very exciting.' O'Brien – who saw Delacroix and dual Derby winner Lambourn suffer defeat on Wednesday – went on: 'We've always felt the better the race the better she'll be. FOUR times an Oaks Winner 👑 Yorkshire Oaks ✅Irish Oaks ✅English Oaks ✅Cheshire Oaks ✅ Next stop Longchamp for 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒆 𝑯𝒂𝒖𝒌? @coolmorestud | @yorkracecourse | #EborFestival — Racing TV (@RacingTV) August 21, 2025 'It was good for Ryan, he had a tough day yesterday and things didn't work out but the professional that he is he didn't flinch. 'It was a nicely-run race, even though there were only four in it, I think the second is a nice filly, isn't she. 'She's won well in the end our filly, she obviously stays very well and always finishes her race off well. She doesn't kill herself getting there but she's always finishing. 'She has to be close to the top of our pecking order for the Arc, she's an improving filly at this time of year. 'She could go to the Breeders' Cup Turf but also the Arc. Whirl could go with her. 'Whirl could go to the Vermeille or Irish Champion, but there's a good chance Delacroix goes back to the Irish Champion and if John (Gosden) brings his horse (Ombudsman) it will be great.' Co-owner Michael Tabor said: 'I think she won very comfortably, she's obviously very good and looking forward maybe she will run in the Arc or the Breeders' Cup. Hopefully we can keep her in training as a four-year-old and enjoy her. 'There's no secret to the success. First of all we have a very good trainer but we try to breed the best to the best as we all do, like Godolphin and Juddmonte. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. 'Yesterday was not a disaster, but it was tough. It's tough when you lose which is why you have to appreciate when you win because it is not easy. 'Minnie Hauk beat Whirl at Epsom and dare I say their next races will be the Arc and the Breeders' Cup for one or the other and hopefully they'll have good chances in those races.'

Al Qareem out for another York raid in the Lonsdale Cup
Only Aidan O'Brien's Gold Cup runner-up Illinois has been able to stop Karl Burke's six-year-old in his last four starts and connections are raring to have a crack at John and Thady Gosden's staying star, who will be out to replicate his Royal Ascot heroics and remain unbeaten on home soil in 2025. 'I did think the race would turn out stronger than it is so I'm pleased to see only six in the field,' said Nick Bradley, managing director of owners Nick Bradley Racing. 'Trawlerman of course will be hard to beat, he's drawn four and we're drawn five. I'm looking forward to seeing who leads and I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing those two go toe-to-toe at the two-furlong pole and may the best horse win. 'He's got a good course record but I think that's more because we've handpicked those races and he's run well at places like Ascot and Chester as well, so I don't think it's because of the track necessarily.' A winner of 11 of his 31 career starts, Al Qareem has long been a reliable source of success for his connections and his performance on the Knavesmire could prove key in Bradley hitting some ambitious targets for the current campaign. He added: 'My target for this year is £1.4million in prize-money and 60 winners and I'm thinking if I can be at £1.1million by the end of this month, I will be in good shape. He's not for passing! Al Qareem is all heart once again as he makes all under @CliffordleexLee who got the sectionals absolutely spot on. We've ran out of superlatives for this horse, the dream horse to own! Well done to @karl_burke and his team especially Danielle who looks… — Nick Bradley Racing (@NBradleyRacing) July 12, 2025 'If Al Qareem finishes second I think I'll get there, so I will be relying on him quite a lot and it's a credit to Karl and his team and the horse himself as we have a standard-bearer who tries so hard every time he lines up.' Trawlerman is joined in the line-up by Clarehaven stablemate and stalwart of the division Sweet William, with Shackleton the chosen representative of Ballydoyle and Saeed bin Suroor's Gold Cup third Dubai Future also engaged. The field is completed by Tom Clover's Al Nayyir, who was agonisingly denied by Vauban in this 12 months ago and suffered a similar fate at Sandown when last seen in the Esher Stakes. 'We're really happy with the horse and he looks to have trained nicely since his run at Sandown,' said Clover. 'I always wonder if this is the time of year he is at his best as he does come to hand a bit, which is encouraging. He looks super in himself and we will keep everything crossed for a big run. 'The only slight niggle for us is the ground and being that little bit older he might not want it this tight, but he has gone very well on it previously and has been working very well. 'It's obviously going to be a very tall ask and although there are only six runners, it looks deep. But I do think he warrants his place in this field and if the others go really hard, it might set up well for him.' There is also Group Two action in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes, where Ed Walker's Do Or Do Not looks to turn some consistent form into a deserved success. Second in both the Coventry Stakes and July Stakes before also finishing third in a strong renewal of the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood, he now reverts to six furlongs with first-time cheekpieces in place. 'He's been a very fun two-year-old and unlucky not to win one, but he's been aimed high and we're doing so once again,' said Walker. 'He's in good form and I don't see any problem with the drop back to six furlongs. They went very very fast when he couldn't go with them down the hill in the July Stakes at Newmarket and I think he will be all right and we're going to run him in cheekpieces. 'He ran really well at Goodwood as well and his form is really rock solid.' Burke's dual winner Reciprocated and Declan Carroll's Thirsk novice scorer Lifeplan are other interesting names among a field of eight.

Currie calls for "common sense" in fixture schedule
Portadown manager Niall Currie insists "common sense has to prevail at some stage" in terms of fixture planning as his team prepares for its third game in the space of a Ports travel to Inver Park on Friday (19:45 BST) seeking to bounce back from Tuesday's 2-0 home defeat to Ballymena United, following their first win of the season away to Dungannon Swifts on also played in midweek when being forced to settle for a 1-1 draw at Cliftonville, but their planned game last weekend against Crusaders was postponed due to their involvement in feels his team has been put at a disadvantage this week with Larne's full-time status another factor counting against his players for a Friday game."I'm all for Friday night games but common sense has to prevail at some stage," he told BBC Sport NI after Tuesday's defeat."To ask part time footballers to play three games in six days, I'm baffled by it."Larne has been very clever. Their guys will be sitting watching analysis videos all day and my guys will come off the scaffolding roof and then head to Larne on Friday night."For me, certain circumstances need looked at and for us to be playing on a Friday night after another two-day turnaround is crazy stuff. Hopefully they will look at that in future, but all we can do is rest them up and see who is available on Friday. We know we're in for a tough night but you never know."
