Content triumphs in the Yorkshire Oaks at York, avenging her Irish Oaks defeat with a stunning performance, marking Galileo's 100th Group One winner under Aidan O'Brien.
Content overcame her previous defeat by You Got To Me in the Irish Oaks by triumphing in the Pertemps Network Yorkshire Oaks at York.
Being the offspring of the legendary Galileo and dual Nunthorpe victor Mecca's Angel, it was only fitting that Aidan O'Brien's filly achieved the most noteworthy win of her career at the Knavesmire.
Under Ryan Moore's guidance, Content started eagerly, with stablemate Port Fairy setting the pace alongside William Haggas' Sea Theme, while attention shifted to Emily Upjohn as the competitors neared the straight.

John and Thady Gosden's mare seamlessly moved to the lead with Kieran Shoemark in the saddle, while Curragh's first and second places, You Got To Me and Content (3-1 favorite), stayed in close pursuit, creating a gripping three-way competition in the final stages.
As they approached the finish line, Content and Ralph Beckett's Classic heroine managed to overtake Emily Upjohn, who ultimately finished in third place. However, the Ballydoyle filly displayed exceptional resolve, securing the win and becoming the late, legendary Galileo's 100th individual Group One winner.
O'Brien equaled the record with his ninth triumph in the Yorkshire Oaks, marking his fourth victory in the past five editions of the mile-and-a-half event.
