When it comes to champions going head to head, the G1 Apple Blossom Handicap has a mighty pedigree. And next Saturday’s running of the Oaklawn Park feature - featuring a mouthwatering clash between Breeders’ Cup Distaff scorer Monomoy Girl and Preakness winner Swiss Skydiver - promises to be right up there with some of the finest editions from the past.
