Group 1 win for filly out of Aussie triple Group 1 winner.
A trip to the United States could be on the cards for Sea Siren's daughter Warm Heart after she banked Group 1 success in the Yorkshire Oaks.
The daughter of Galileo and the multiple Group 1-winning Australian mare scored a fighting head win over Free Wind in the 2412m event to take her career record to four wins from six starts.
It was her second Stakes success following a Group 2 win in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, having finished fifth in the Group 1 Irish Oaks in between.
Trainer Aidan O'Brien said while there were options at home for the three-year-old, the Breeders Cup Fillies & Mares Turf at Santa Anita in November loomed a genuine target.
"I think she's probably made for the Filly And Mare Turf," O'Brien said.
"She's a nice size to her and she's strong and has tactical speed as well.
"She could go straight there, or she could run on Irish Champions Weekend or Arc weekend, but she likes nice ground and maybe we shouldn't overface her."
Warm Heart is the fourth to race from Sea Siren, winner of the BTC Cup, Doomben Cup and Manikato Stakes at Group 1 level, who travelled to Ireland after being bought by Coolmore in 2013.
The daughter of Fastnet Rock returned to Australia after being covered by Camelot in 2021, producing a colt, and she last spring Coolmore's boom first-season sire Home Affairs.
