Dual classic romper Snowfall added a third major to her resume in Thursday’s Yorkshire Oaks (G1), solidifying favoritism for the Oct. 3 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1).

The three-year-old Snowfall won only once in seven starts as a juvenile, but in three starts this year has laid claim to being the best filly in Europe. On Thursday, she will be a short-priced favorite to defeat older rivals for the first time in the Yorkshire Oaks (G1) on day two of York's Ebor Festival.

Just 12 years after Yeats won the Gold Cup (G1) for a record fourth time, Stradivarius is in position to emulate that historic achievement at Royal Ascot Thursday. At the opposite end of the distance spectrum, the Norfolk S. (G2) serves as a “Win and You’re In” for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G2)
