<p>The Ebor Festival will continue to roll on this week, with the 2025 Yorkshire Oaks the highlight of the second day’s action.</p> <p>Aussies will be able to capture the start of the race in the early hours of Friday morning, with it scheduled to go from the post at 00:35 AEST.</p> <p>It is a highly anticipated Group 1 race, as it features many of the world’s elite fillies and mares. It is run over a distance of 1 mile, 3 furlongs, and 188 yards, testing the stamina of the three- and four-year-olds scheduled to run.</p> <p>The winner of the race will receive a lucrative prize pot, with £340,260 (AUD$708,400) on the line.</p> <h2>Yorkshire Oaks 2025: Betting Preview</h2> <p>With a small field of just six horses scheduled to take to the course on Friday morning, Aussies may feel there is every chance value can be found in this race.</p> <p>Here are the six horses confirmed to race, four of which are trained by Aiden O’Brien:</p> <p>Estrange - trained by David O’Meara</p> <p>Bedtime Story - trained by Aiden O’Brien</p> <p>Garden Of Eden - trained by Aiden O’Brien</p> <p>Minnie Hauk - trained by Aiden O’Brien</p> <p>Qilin Queen - trained by Ed Walker</p> <p>Whirl - trained by Aiden O’Brien</p> <p>As is typical fashion at this point of a preview, who mounts the horses trained by Aiden O’Brien remains to be seen, but some of the top jockeys will likely be given a ride.</p> <p>For many, it’s difficult to look beyond Minnie Haulk in the betting ring. The 3-year-old has been impressive this season, winning each of her three races so far, including being the winner of the Epsom Oaks and Irish Oaks. It follows a win in her final race last season. She has been lightly raced this season, but with her stamina and assurance, many are backing her to be a triple Classic winner.</p> <p>Estrange is another that has the potential to win. She is a consistent and continually improving four-year-old for David O’Meara, and arrives off two straight wins. She is proven at this trip and can’t be discounted, especially for place money.</p> <h2>Yorkshire Oaks 2025: Betting Prediction</h2> <p>Unsurprisingly, the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/futures/horse/yorkshire-oaks-9368381">2025 Yorkshire Oaks betting odds</a> have Minnie Haulk as the large opening favourite, with Estrange at slightly longer odds. This can make the latter a good potential each-way bet, with three places being paid out.</p> <p>With that in mind, it could be worth looking at an alternative horse to place. Value could be found in Whirl, who has three wins and a second-placed finish in her last four trips. Whirl was beaten by Minnie Haulk in the Epsom Oaks by a neck, highlighting the legitimate danger she poses to the huge favourite in this upcoming race.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
