Charlie Appleby and William Buick are on the cusp of joining an elite group of horse racing legends as they prepare for the Oaks with Desert Flower, a recent 1,000 Guineas winner. Only a select few jockeys and trainers have secured victories in all five English Classics since World War II. Appleby, with a quick succession of Classic wins, seeks to complete his collection with a win in the Oaks. Meanwhile, the competition features formidable opponents including those trained by Aidan O'Brien, indicating a challenging race ahead.
"Since the end of the second world war, only eight jockeys and 11 trainers have managed to get their names on the roll of honour for all five English Classics..."
"...only Frankie Dettori and Ryan Moore since the turn of the century have joined this elite group of jockeys who have completed the full set of English Classics."
