Review curragh 18th Jul
Snow Fairy swept to a magnificent victory in the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh to complete a famous Classic double for the Ed Dunlop yardSun 18th Jul

Snow Fairy takes Darley Irish Oaks in style
Snow Fairy completed a double on the day for British champion jockey Ryan Moore when taking the Darley Irish Oaks in superb style. Sun 18th Jul
She's an unbelievable racehorse. I've nearly lost my voice. I'm relieved for the horse more than anything. For the owner and Frankie I'm so happy too. Frankie had never won on her and Ryan (Moore, out injured) had won six out of six on her. To do what she did is amazing and Frankie gave her a great ride. They went flat out. We were of the opinion that we'd take our time as she has an electric turn of foot. She's now won a Group 1 in Europe against colts. She's a horse of a lifetime and I've had two of those now (Ouija Board being the other). It's been a huge team effort from John Warwick, the vet, who operated on her (after a serious tendon injury) and Jessica Harrington who had her for two months. She's a better horse this year but I don't know why. All credit to the owner (Cristina Patino of Anamoine Limited). It would have been very easy to retire her but she was very keen to try the operation and it worked. I want to go to the Breeders Cup and she's in the Arc. We'll take one race at a time. We'll take her home and talk to Mrs Patino now. She's in the Champion but there is a certain horse called Frankel in that. If she's alright we wouldn't mind going there.

That was a good performance, it was pretty spectacular really the way she put the race to bed. Ryan [Moore] said she got bumped at one stage and she'd be better on better ground. We were very confident she'd run well on decent ground so I was walking my box a bit today. It was the owner who decided to take the plunge and said go. She is stronger than what she was at Epsom and she has a huge heart. The Yorkshire Oaks is a possibility now. I persuaded the owner to supplement her twice for the Breeders Cup and I don't know if I'll ask her to do it again. We'd have to start to think of going down a similar road to Ouija Board. I'm reliably informed that once everything is ok she'll stay in training as a four year old.
