Tuesday, trained by Aidan O’Brien and ridden by Ryan Moore, won a dramatic Oaks at Epsom, holding off Emily Upjohn by the narrowest of margins after the hot favourite virtually fell out of the stalls and lost many valuable lengths.

The trainer of the 13-2 shot was setting a record for the race by saddling his 41st winner in British Classics. His success on the Downs, his tenth in the Oaks, took O’Brien past John Scott, who saddled 40 Classic winners between 1827 and 1863.
