Snow wins the Munster Oaks for Lordan The 11/4 favourite Snow seemed to relish racing over a mile and a half for the first time as she took the Group 3 Munster Oaks by a length and a quarter from outsider Snapraeceps. Wayne Lordan took close order down the back straight behind leader, and eventual third place finisher, Loveisthehigherlaw and drove his mount to the front inside the final quarter mile. The Galileo filly, a maiden winner and Group-placed over ten furlongs, saw the trip out really well and gives the impression that she might even stay a bit further. The winning filly is out of Con Collins’ Moyglare winner Chelsea Rose, and is a full-sister to 2018 St Leger winner Kew Gardens. Winning rider Lordan remarked: "She's a lovely, straightforward filly. She's stepping up as she's going up in trip. It feels like she's improving. "She stayed well and is a sister to Kew Gardens, so the extra trip is a huge help." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
