In a thrilling finish at the Curragh, You Got To Me justified significant market support to claim victory.
This daughter of Nathaniel, trained by Ralph Beckett, had previously won Lingfield’s Oaks Trial earlier in the season.
Backed into 15-2 from double-figure overnight odds, she had finished fourth to Ezeliya at Epsom before securing the same spot in the Ribblesdale Stakes while racing keenly on the front end.
With a tongue-tie applied and ridden with more restraint, the winner traveled comfortably in mid-division under regular pilot Hector Crouch.
As the Aidan O’Brien-trained 3-1 favorite Content chased in the closing stages, You Got To Me displayed both stamina and class, hitting the front with a furlong to run. She held a three-quarter length advantage at the line, with Content in second and Paddy Twomey’s Purple Lily in third.
