This race dates back to 1946 and counts Niche and Infamous Angel amongst its many famous winners. The Yorkshire Oaks also conforms to the Ladies theme of the day, as a 1 mile 4 furlong race for thoroughbred fillies and mares. Established in 1849 it has seen the victories of legendary racing girls such as Alexandrova and Islington.
