Love triumphed at an Epsom meeting held without spectators

Love set a new record time as she won the Oaks at Epsom by nine lengths under Ryan Moore and trainer Aidan O’Brien.

The 1,000 Guineas winner completed a Classic double from stablemate Ennistymon, with Frankly Darling third.

“I think this filly is very special. She was very impressive,” said Moore of the 11-10 favourite, who is O’Brien’s eighth winner of the Oaks.

The Oaks and the Derby (16:55 BST) are taking place behind closed doors and on the same day for the first time.

Love’s winning time of two minutes, 34.06 seconds broke the Oaks record set by Enable (2:34.13) in 2017.
