Re: Horse Racing
Riposte and Venus added to Oaks

Quote:
Riposte and Venus De Milo have been supplemented for the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh on Saturday evening.
Trained respectively by Lady Cecil and Aidan O'Brien, connections of the two fillies have stumped up the 40,000 euro required to allow them to contest the Irish Classic. The Khalid Abdullah-owned Riposte was a striking winner of the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot on her last start, while the unbeaten Venus De Milo claimed an Oaks trial at Naas towards the end of June.
