After race at Curragh Sat, 20th Jul, 2019 (1st)  When I suggested it to Mr Oppenheimer he was very brave and said 'go for it if you think it's right', so he gave me full support. I think Frankie was aware that his filly showed her best in the last furlong of the Ribblesdale and he was determined not to see a falsely run race. He's gone out there, set his own fractions, and quickened off the bend. With a tail wind in the straight but a head wind in front all the way down the back. That's Frankie, you leave him alone when he has a plan and he can go to plan b usually quite quickly. He has to have courage to do that which comes from years of experience and having a clock in your head. He's rode a quite beautiful race and confirmed the Ribblesdale form. She's a lovely filly and she's really done well since Royal Ascot. It just seemed an obvious thing to come here. This is a classic, it's a Group 1 and it's the Irish Oaks. They do close these races too soon in my opinion which is why I never have entries in them and I always end up having to supplement if I have something good enough. I wish they'd close them a little later here and then more of us could play. I'd say that was the plan. John Gosden
