Connections wait on Frankellina Oaks decision

Connections wait on Frankellina Oaks decision

Connections of Frankellina will wait until the weekend before deciding if she will participate in the Investec Oaks on May 31.

The William Haggas-trained daughter of Frankel finished in a dead-heat for second alongside Entitle having been beaten by a neck by Nausha after struggling in the final 100 yards of last week’s Musidora Stakes at York.

Owner Anthony Oppenheimer admitted that the race on the Knavesmire took a lot out of Frankellina so they will give her time to recover before making a firm decision on the Epsom trip.

He said: ‘I have talked to William since, but all he said was he’d wait to see how the filly came out of the race.

‘She had quite a hard race, especially for just her second ever run, and she was blowing for about 40 minutes after it.

‘I don’t think we’ll decide (about the Oaks) until the five-day stage at the earliest – there’s no need to really.

‘She ran a nice race. She did get left in the stalls a bit, but I don’t think that made any difference to the result.’
