Oxagon Claims Craven Stakes Victory for the Gosden Team

Oxagon has thrown his hat into the ring for the 2000 Guineas with an impressive front-running win in the Betway Craven Stakes. The victory came after a seasonal debut, with Oxagon benefiting from a controlling ride by Oisin Murphy to win comfortably by two lengths. Trainer John Gosden, who trains the winner in partnership with his son Thady, expressed his delight with the performance, citing the addition of cheekpieces as a factor that helped focus the horse's mind. With this win, Oxagon's odds for the Guineas have been cut to 25-1, and connections are considering taking a chance in the Classic.
