Irish Oaks 2022 Betting News

The build-up to Irish Oaks 2022 this Saturday is hotting up by the day, but the John Gosden-trained Emily Upjohn remains the hot odds-on favourite to improve on her second in the Epsom Oaks earlier this season.

Jessie Harrington Upbeat About Her Magical Lagoon

Course winner- Magical Lagoon @ 11/2 with BoyleSports – looks one of the live dangers for the hot favourite, Emily Upjohn, to have to deal with. She was last seen winning the G2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot on her first try over this 1m4f trip.

Another plus, is that her only other career win (from 5 runs) came at the Curragh back last August, so we know the track suits.

The vibes this week coming out of the Harrington camp are possitive too – she told the Racing Post…….

“Magical Lagoon is in great form and all roads lead to the Irish Oaks. She’s had a nice break and it will be just over four weeks since the Ribblesdale, which is the perfect amount of time for her to get over it and to freshen her…
