The Aga Khan owned and bred Riyalma has been shortened in price for the Oaks at Epsom on 2nd June following her Newmarket win on Sunday. By Selkirk out of the Kahaysi mare Riyafa, she was an easy two and a half length winner of the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes at a rain-drenched Newmarket on Sunday. Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, Riyalma was runner-up on her debut at Leicester as a 2 year old and this was a pleasing second outing for the filly in preparation for the English Classic.
Sir Michael is also aiming Sindirana, by Kalanisi out of Sinndar's half sister Sinndiya (Pharly-Sinntara) at the Oaks for her owner-breeder.
