Legacy Link triumphed in a hard-fought Tattersalls Musidora Stakes at York, earning her a spot in the Betfred Oaks. The 6-4 favourite, ridden by Colin Keane, successfully navigated a stern challenge from Felicitas, trained by Ed Walker and ridden by Kieran Shoemark. After tracking the early pace, Legacy Link made her move in the home straight, leading to a sustained duel up the Knavesmire. Legacy Link ultimately prevailed by three-quarters of a length in a performance that pleased trainer John Gosden. This victory marks Gosden's ninth Musidora win, drawing him level with Sir Henry Cecil as the race's most successful trainer. Gosden confirmed that the plan is for Legacy Link to head to Epsom for the Oaks, potentially with a preparatory spin around Tattenham Corner. The runner-up, Felicitas, also delivered an impressive performance in only her third start, suggesting a bright future.
