QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes report: Eshaada lands Group One

Roger Varian's charge was in front two furlongs out in the Yorkshire Oaks last time. Albaflora and Snowfall challenged her but AlbafflorA was soon beaten.

Eshaada won the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Royal Ascot. Roger Varian's trainer planned the race for her. O'Brien's horse Snowfall didn't win. The future of EshaADA is unknown. Ryan Moore would have preferred the pace to be stronger early. Snowfalls best days are probably ahead of her, according to O’Brien. The team at Shadwell will discuss her future. They haven't said anything about next year.
