The Gosdens want sweet music from Emily Upjohn in Musidora at York
Theres a fascinating Tattersalls Musidora Stakes in store at York on Wednesday, May 11. John and Thady Gosden's Emily Upjohn will aim to win the race on the way to the Epsom Oaks.
John and Thady Gosden's flying filly Emily Upjohn will put her Cazoo Epsom Oaks credentials to the test in the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes at York on Wednesday, May 11.
The daughter of Sea The Stars created a buzz with a nine and a half lengths win at Sandown last month. The victory had her jockey Frankie Dettori full of praise for the three-year-old, saying afterwards: "I rode her the other morning and I thought, 'wow'! Not many horses take my breath away and you like to see them do it in the afternoon."
While Emily Upjohn is likely to go off odds-on at York, Charlie Appleby will attempt to upset the apple cart with Life Of Dreams, a Dubawi filly who won nicely on debut at Newbury.
Aidan O'Brien's Algarve shouldn't be discounted, a somewhat dark horse who showed what she can do despite a weak start by winning well at Galway on heavy ground last October.
