Taghrooda remains on track for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe despite her shock defeat in the Yorkshire Oaks.

The John Gosden-trained filly was the overwhelming favourite for last week's feature after bagging both the Oaks at Epsom and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

However, she had to settle for second behind Tapestry with Gosden thinking his star filly was not totally at home on the quick ground.

"I'll be quite honest, our filly didn't quite let herself go on the ground but I was not going to stand making excuses afterwards," Gosden told At The Races.

"I don't like anyone who whinges, but the ground was quick underneath and she was just holding back on it.

"It was the same for everyone and that's why you don't whinge, you just get on with it.

"She's in great order and we're pointing towards the Arc.

"I take nothing from the filly that won. She's very talented, beautifully bred and people forget she was favourite for the Guineas.
