Bookies make her their 6/1 favourite for the Epsom Classic in June
John Gosden's Shutter Speed moved to the top of the ante-post market for The Oaks with an impressive performance that left bookmakers purring. The Prince Khalid Abdullah runner travelled strongly throughout the race before being pushed clear by Dettori inside the final two furlongs for a facile 2 1/2 length victory.

As big as 16/1 for the June showpeice before the race, bookmakers slashed her odds to as short as 6/1 joint-favourite in places off the back of her dominant performance.
After the race her jockey Frankie Dettori said: "She's a lovely filly, she did really well over the winter and filled her big frame. I sat on her ten days ago and she was superb. She's won like a class filly, got a little bit tired towards the end but has a bright future."
Asked about her 1000 Guineas entry Dettori added: "I think we'll probably go down the staying route. You saw today over the 1m2f we fitted in really well and I guess mayeb an Oaks trial (up next) somewhere down the line".
