Unbeaten Divine wins French Oaks
Divine Proportions
Divine Proportions is unbeaten in eight races
Divine Proportions won the Prix de Diane (French Oaks) on Sunday to establish herself as one of the greatest fillies of all time.

It was Divine Proportions' fourth group one and second French classic and she was never tested over the trip.

Argentina finished second ahead of German contender Paita in third, while Vadawina faded into fourth.

"She is something special," said jockey Christophe Lemaire of the filly whose record is now eight wins from eight.

"I was always travelling strongly and I felt there was a motor that no one else possessed within the field.

"When I pushed the button she simply lifted off and if I was to ride another horse like this I would be in disbelief."
