Ratings Update: Johanna Walsh steps forward again
Timeform ratings reaction following the Juddmonte Irish Oaks at the Curragh.
A quieter weekend to reflect on, with the sole Group 1 at the Curragh – the Juddmonte Irish Oaks – won by a Joseph O'Brien-trained filly, though with Thundering On absent (off-feed, rather than off-put by the fast ground) it was left to stablemate Johanna Walsh (up to 117) to take a step forward into the limelight.
She has looked an entirely different proposition since going up in trip and encountering ground firmer than good, and appears one who may well show herself to be very smart before the season is out.
Where she goes now will presumably hinge to some extent on Thundering On, O'Brien likely to want to keep his Oaks winners apart. The Yorkshire Oaks looks an obvious next port of call for Johanna Walsh, but with the Breeders Cup due to take place at Keeneland this year it remains to be seen whether connections would be tempted to drop her back to 9.5f for the Filly and Mare Turf.
