Beautiful heads for Oaks on mixed day for Spencer

Jamie Spencer had mixed fortune at Navan this afternoon, partnering a treble but also picking up a four day suspension.

All Too Beautiful was the highlight of the treble, and is now 12/1 (from 14´s) with Paddy Power for the Vodafone Oaks after landing the Listed Salsabil Stakes.

However the race also provided a major talking point as Michael Kinane took a fall in the straight when his mount Sahara Sonnet clipped the winner´s heels.

All Too Beautiful, a full-sister to Galileo and sent off the 4/7 favourite, led well over a furlong out to beat Queen Astrid by two and a half lengths.

Champion jockey Kinane was taken to nearby Navan hospital for observation after his mount fell inside the final quarter mile.

The head-on camera showed Spencer´s mount edging marginally left onto Sahara Sonnet, and he was given a four day ban (May 3, 5, 6 & 7) for careless riding.

It was Spencer´s second careless riding offence this season, and he is also appealing a one day whip ban on Monday.

´She was always a beauty at home, and the plan has always been to give her two runs before the Oaks. She will go straight to Epsom now,´ said Aidan O´Brien.

The Ballydoyle trainer also had an upbeat report on 2,000 Guineas favourite One Cool Cat saying, ´I´m very happy with him, and everything has gone well so far. I may also run Tumblebrutus in the Guineas.´

Spencer later took over from Kinane on Tequise in the mile handicap, and swept past Dukestreet inside the final furlong to score by three and a half lengths.

Lady Portia set the ball rolling for Spencer in the sprint handicap, leading over a furlong out to beat Grant by three quarters of a length and put him on the 18 winner mark for the season.

Cathy Gannon also picked up a chance winner when successfully replacing Kinane on Zarafsha in the ten furlongs maiden.

The grey daughter of Alzao swished her tail repeatedly in the straight but still kept on gamely to beat market rival Arch Rebel by three and a half lengths.

´She´s swished her tail from day one at home but is a promising filly. She will get a mile and a half, and would like better ground,´ said John Oxx´s assistant Jimmy O´Neill.

Fred Tylicki partnered his first winner on only his fifth ride when Chantelle caused a 20/1 shock in the apprentice maiden.

Tylicki, 17, whose father and namesake was three times champion jockey in Germany, is apprenticed to Dermot Weld and has been riding out at Rosewell House soon after arriving from his homeland over two years ago.

Danny O´Sullivan (28) saddled his first winner when Itsonlywoody took the two-year-old auction maiden, always prominent under Billy Lee and led over a furlong out to beat Trim Image by a length.

O´Sullivan, who rode ten winners in a riding career with Tommy Stack, Arthur Moore and in Britain with Bob Buckler, said ´I only got my licence last month, and have 25 in training near Mitchelstown with four of those for the Flat.´
