Aidan O’Brien eyes Arc-Breeders’ Cup double for fast-improving Minnie Hauk
Aidan O'Brien's filly Minnie Hauk has completed a Group One treble at York, winning the Yorkshire Oaks. The race was effectively over when the odds-on favorite hit the front two furlongs out. Minnie Hauk was an unknown quantity, unraced in anything but maiden company at two, when she lined up for the Cheshire Oaks in May. However, her win on the Roodeye has now been followed by three straight Group One victories, including a neck defeat of a stable companion, Whirl, in the Oaks at Epsom in June. Aidan O'Brien believes that the better the race, the better Minnie Hauk will be, suggesting that she could be a major player in the autumn's global championship events, such as the Arc and Breeders' Cup.
