Whirl won Epsom’s compensation when the Kalpana is released in an exciting Polly passionate paddy power.
Ryan Moore was quickly distant by dictating the terms on board the 13-8 seconds, with Colin Keane never far aboard the Kalpana belonging to Juddmonte and had to think that the race was his for the catch when Whirl was asked for a maximum effort with two cutlery to run with Kalpana always on a threatening way.
However, Whirl was not to give in and after a Titanic fight, the Wootton Bassett filly withdrew additional inside the last Furlong to shade a length and a quarter of verdict and refuse the consecutive victories of Juddmonte in the functionality event after Bluestocking 12 months ago.
“It’s an incredible filly. She just progressed and she likes to fight,” said O’Brien.
“Obviously, we have seen that she will remain a mile and a half in Epsom. She is absolutely concrete.
“They embarked on a battle by turning and fighting throughout the right like that at Curragh takes courage and they continued.
O’Brien won the pretty Polly for the sixth time and reserved special praise for Moore, who joined the list of large jockeys who won the race three times.
“Ryan gave him a brilliant walk, he obtained the fractions absolutely,” added O’Brien.
“This is a difficult thing when you brown a filly and a half to a mile and quarter. You try to spread endurance on a mile and quarter without stretching the elastic too long, but it absolutely has it.
“He obtained the favorite to challenge him and this filly obtains a mile and a half, so it was useless to transform it into a sprint. It was the plan to extend it and let the two come together and see who was going to be the best.
“As they say” let the best horse jump the ditch “after that. Two big jockeys, what can I say about Ryan, day after day, he is incredible.
“They went strong and the two went together. Ryan and Colin knew that they were the dangers of the other and they were not going to give themselves a thumb, which they could not afford.
“These kinds of shopping is not very difficult.
As for the future of his winner, O’Brien is inclined to keep an open mind, with the conqueror of Epsom de Whirl, Minnie Hauk, in her round for the major events of the season.
He said, “She can go anywhere now this filly. She can return here to the Oaks, she can go to the Nassau (in Goodwood).
“It is an unusual filly. She is hard and she does not even blow there, her nostrils were not even flared.
“It is obviously a very high class filly and it is very exciting. It is possible that she is kept away from Minnie Hauk, but the guys could let them run together in the oaks.
“I imagine that if Minnie Hauk returns to oaks and that she is fine, she will be released by herself and this filly could do other things.
“It is not slow either.”
