Silvestre De Sousa stole the plaudits on Oaks day when nearly dethroning Cracksman with the french raider Salouen (officially rated 20lbs inferior), but thankfully we were on later when he went one better on the Mark Johnston trained Lake Volta. We were on at 13/2 in the morning, and he returned the emphatic 3/1 winner.
