Racing: Lush Lashes made up for an unlucky second in the Nassau Stakes with a straightforward victory in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks at Newmarket this afternoon.
After meeting all sorts of trouble at Goodwood last time, the Jim Bolger-trained even-money favourite was pulled wide by Kevin Manning a furlong and a half out to make her challenge.
John Gosden's pair of Dar Re Mi and Michita were the two remaining challengers in the final furlong but she stayed all the way to the line for an impressive length and-a-quarter victory.
Settled at the rear of the six-runner field in an attempt to conserve stamina, she oozed class as she came to make her challenge.
Jimmy Fortune asked Michita for an effort going into the dip but he was soon passed by stable companion Dar Re Mi, who was the only danger inside the final furlong.
But Manning never had to get too serious on the Coronation Stakes winner and she came home a convincing winner.
Manning said: "They went a nice, even gallop so she sat in behind and she has quickened up nicely.
"She seems to be effective over different distances and she is a very tough filly."
