Enable Sails To An Incredible Victory In The Arc

Enable managed a spectacular and memorable season with a completely scintillating display in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The brilliant filly of John Gosden lined up as a favourite for this middle-distance competition after grabbing four consecutive first places at the Yorkshire Oaks, Epsom Oaks, Irish Oaks, and King George IV and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. The 3-year-old made a great start from the second stall and Frankie Dettori did well as he positioned her behind Order Of St George and Idaho, in a perfect spot. This gave Enable a powerful force within the final 2 furlongs and she stamped a nice class, sealing a very dominant success.
