Earning
"TDN Rising Star" status on debut over a mile here in October, Kissed returned to sound a clear warning to potential rivals in the June 1
G1 Epsom Oaks. Taken straight to the lead by Joseph O'Brien, the hot favorite cruised past the quarter pole with Cleofila attempting to make a fist of it and at least get the leader off the bridle. Receiving the most minor encouragement from the saddle, that was all that was required for Kissed to extend and secure a facile victory.
