Re: Horse Racing
Taghrooda states case for Oaks.

Quote:
Taghrooda advertised her Investec Oaks credentials with a startling display in the Tweenhills Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket.
A surprise winner over seven furlongs on her debut, John Gosden's stoutly bred filly was sent off the even-money favourite under Paul Hanagan and her backers would never have had the remotest cause for concern.
Sound Reflection set the pace, but Hanagan was off in pursuit two furlongs out and as the daughter of Sea The Stars moved through the gears, her stride extended and she began to pull away. She eventually ran out a hugely impressive six-length winner, assuming Oaks favouritism in the process
