Aidan O’Brien’s filly Diamond Necklace is poised to complete a French Classic double this Sunday, favored at 8-11 to win the million-euro French Oaks after her stunning 1,000 Guineas victory last month. O’Brien’s current six-week winning streak includes Epsom Derby glory and triumphs at Newmarket and the Curragh, with Joan Of Arc’s 2021 French Oaks win adding to his pedigree. Key rivals include England’s Evolutionist and Inis Mor, whose trainer remains confident despite the favorite’s odds. Meanwhile, the Irish Derby looms with Christmas Day and Benvenuto Cellini as top contenders — the latter controversially declared a non-runner at Epsom over a disputed start. Maltese Cross, who nearly beat Christmas Day, may head to the Irish Derby for a free entry, setting up a thrilling next chapter in the racing season.
