Look Here led a one-two finish by extreme longshots when she drew clear to a 3 3/4-length victory over Moonstone in Friday's Group 1, $700,000 English Oaks at Epsom.

Ridden by Seb Sanders, the 33-1 Look Here rallied from seventh entering the stretch to take the lead with a little more than two furlongs remaining. Look Here drove clear and held off the efforts of two Irish fillies, 25-1 shot Moonstone and Katiyra, a 9-2 shot who finished third, 2 3/4 lengths behind the runner-up.

Lush Lashes, another Irish invader, finished fifth as the 5-2 favorite.

Jim Bolger upset a great many people when he announced on Monday that New Approach would run in Saturday’s Epsom Derby.

The Irish trainer had been saying all spring that New Approach, last year’s champion 2-year-old, would contest the English and Irish 2000 Guineas followed by the Irish Derby. Epsom would not suit the son of Galileo, he said.

At the last moment, Bolger did an about-face, saying that it was entirely his decision and that he had not been under pressure from connections of the colt, who is owned by Princess Haya, the wife of Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum.

A seven-figure mare topped selling Wednesday at the third session of the Magic Millions national broodmare sale on Australia's Gold Coast, bringing about $2,280,000. That was what Hong Kong-based owner Deborah Ho paid for She Will Be Loved. A 4-year-old Strategic mare, she sold in foal to leading Australian sire Redoute's Choice as part of the Kia Ora consignment.

She Will Be Loved is an Australian Group 2 winner.

Lush Lashes spearheads an Irish invasion of Europe's premier fillies classic, the $700,000 English Oaks, at Epsom on Friday.

No less than 9 of the 16 runners will be shipping in from Ireland, including Lush Lashes, who shot to the head of the betting for this 1 1/2-mile event when sprinting five lengths clear of a strong field in the Group 2 Musidora Stakes at York on May 14.

Shalt Not, the dam of Australian Group 2 winner Amelia's Dream, fetched the session-topping bid of about $997,500 Tuesday at the Magic Millions national broodmare sale on Australia's Gold Coast.

Sir Patrick Hogan's Cambridge Stud of New Zealand made the purchase from Yarraman Park Stud. Cambridge Stud manager Marcus Corban signed the ticket for the mare.

Shalt Not, a stakes-winning 11-year-old daughter of St Covet, sold in foal to Testa Rossa.

Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum's Darley operation added to its long list of sale-topping buys Monday in Australia with the sale-record purchase of broodmare prospect Divine Madonna.

Darley paid $2,565,000, for the four-time Australian Group 1 winner at the Magic Millions national broodmare sale on Australia's Gold Coast.

It's a long way from Les Sables d'Olonne to Chantilly, but Vision d'Etat completed the journey on Sunday with a stunning victory in the $2.3 million Prix du Jockey-Club, or French Derby.

A 7-1 shot, the undefeated Vision d'Etat held off the late charge of Famous Name by a head after running down the filly Natagora, who battled on gamely to be third, 1 1/2 lengths behind the runner-up after leading at the quarter-pole.

The absence of the injured Japanese 2000 Guineas winner Captain Thule has left this year's $3.2 million Tokyo Yushun, or Japanese Derby, up for grabs at Tokyo Racecourse on Sunday.

Seven of the 18 runners in the 1 1/2-mile classic finished behind Captain Thule on April 20 in the 1 1/4-mile Guineas, the closest of them Take Mikazuchi, who was 2 1/2 lengths behind in second. Rainbow Pegasus, fourth that day, came flying late and is a better bet to stay the distance, as he is by the Sunday Silence stallion Agnes Tachyon and out of a Danehill mare.

The filly Natagora will throw down a bold challenge to 19 colts in the $2.3 million Prix du Jockey-Club at Chantilly on Sunday after having picked up the services of Frankie Dettori in a dramatic last-minute jockey shuffle.

Smokey Oakey held on gamely for a surprise 20-1 victory in a first-rate but rain-softened renewal of the Group 3, $99,000 Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown Park on Thursday evening.

Smokey Oakey, a 4-year-old bought as a yearling for just $16,000, got to the line under Jimmy Quinn a neck in front of multiple group race winner Maraahel with the 9-4 favorite Pipedreamer third, a half-length behind the runner-up.

Trained by Mark Tompkins, Smokey Oakey finished the 1 1/4 miles in 2:11.57.
