Snow freezes out rivals in Group 3 Munster Oaks on high-class Cork card

A week after the retirement of Classic hero Kew Gardens, Ballydoyle appear to have uncovered a classy middle-distance filly in the shape of his sister Snow, who relished the step up to 1m4f to land the Group 3 Munster Oaks under Wayne Lordan.

The 11-4 favourite, who has progressed with each run, was always holding the challenge of the likeable Snapraeceps at 40-1, while main market rival Search For A Song was pulled-up by Oisin Orr after slipping on the first bend. She was reportedly fine after.

"She's a lovely, straightforward filly," Lordan said of the improving winner.
