Aidan O'Brien celebrated yet another victory in the Yorkshire Oaks this afternoon, as James Doyle rode Warm Heart to victory over Free Wind. Read a recap of the 2023 Yorkshire Oaks and watch a replay of the finish here on our website.

After years of hitting the crossbar in high-profile handicaps, Ropey Guest finally claimed his day in the sun by winning the Clipper Handicap under Tom Queally. Clive Cox was celebrating on Thursday too, after the well-backed Dragon Leader landed the Premier Yearling Stakes.

Relief Rally continued her excellent seasonal form by winning the Lowther Stakes. Tom Marquand and William Haggas then sealed a double on the day when Sea Theme claimed a hard-fought victory in the Galtres Stakes.

William Buick got his name on the scoresheet after winning the Nursery Handicap aboard Gushing Gold. Ralph Beckett's Nigiri then made it three-from-three in handicaps by bolting up in the card-closing heritage handicap.
