I'm not trying to argue it wasn't a very good Oaks performance, but in my view it certainly wasn't in Enable's league (8lbs lower).This year's renewal is rather poor despite the presence of Alpinista whose greatest claim to fame was beating Torquator Tasso - the Arc winner; Tuesday never showed up in the Irish Derby but can atone enormously if reproducing her Epsom Oaks form, Ihttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/31722313/yorkshire-oaks-group-1?post_id=562467523#562467523This year's renewal is rather poor despite the presence of Alpinista whose greatest claim to fame was beating Torquator Tasso - the Arc winner; Tuesday never showed up in the Irish Derby but can atone enormously if reproducing her Epsom Oaks form, IWed, 17 Aug 2022 12:11:02 -0500beaten in the trial todayhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/31722313/yorkshire-oaks-group-1?post_id=561419291#561419291beaten in the trial todaySun, 12 Sep 2021 09:51:36 -0500Have to consider the trainer's dismal record in the race with 3yos - best finish I think 3rd with High Chapparalhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/31722313/yorkshire-oaks-group-1?post_id=561337853#561337853Have to consider the trainer's dismal record in the race with 3yos - best finish I think 3rd with High ChapparalFri, 20 Aug 2021 13:30:01 -0500Figgis.I have Snowfall at the same rating as Adyar but as her final sectional was faster than the colt I have her rated just a bit higher so with the fillies allowance I still have her ahead of him for the Arc.

I was just prepared to alter my view, as it's possible a race can look better on the clock than it does at face value. But no, she did nothing here timewise that she hasn't done before.
