ENABLE

Headed to the G1 Breeder's Cup Turf (1 1/2 miles) @ Churchill Downs, Nov 3rd.

Currently some betting shops are offering 4/7on.

Winx has got nothing on Enable.

History made, first horse to do the Arc and Breeders double.

The hoodoo is broken, 8 have tried over 36 years.

Dettori was at his brilliant best.

At 2400m you would be arguably right. At lesser distances, you cannot put up an argument that Enable is better than Winx.

Probably the case with advances in logistics and science. The horse probably has its own private jet. Probably is why we have so many internationals in Cup these days.

The fact they just keep on winning makes them champions.

I wish my wives had been as reliable as WINX.

Solid Residential Real Estate,
THE GO = NOW

Enabled you have a superstar and we have a superstar. Leave it at that. You don't know she would struggle to beat Magical. THey race in different hemispheres. And Enable went to USA so why didn't she come down to meet Winx in the Cox Plate? I know which would of been a great thing for both countries. Winx is a seven year old mare and won't travel. Well Enable has now travelled so it would of been great to see her take on Winx.

Otherwise we know what we have. A horse which has done times no other horse has over a distance who has travelled well over 10,000kilometers over the years back and forth between Sydney and Brisbane and Sydney and Melbourne. She has gone in both directions, missed the start been trapped on the fence and always come from the second half of the field. No easy task anytime. But with that she has won consistently for 29 times.

Enable is truly a great mare who is making history. We have one also.

How could one distance Enable and Winx ever race?

Over 2000m at Flemington.

Hope both don’t retire anytime soon. Enable was injured this year and had a limited prep. So to win the double 2nd and 3rd up is unbelievable.

No Flemington seems too hard of the overseas horses. Randwick is more forgiving. It's a known fact that Winx prefers Melbourne way so that helps Enabled also.

The Autumn Sun won (albeit very impressively) the worst Guineas I’ve seen. The horses that ran second and fourth in that race were well beaten in the Carbine- usually a level below. He’s promising, but wouldn’t mention him in the same breath as the other two.

Is that Chantilly ???

animals before people.

Where abouts ?

animals before people.

Enable wins the Eclipse defeating Magical by about a length with Regal Reality in third place. Looked to be plenty of room for improvement.

She’s certainly scared off the opposition - only 3 rivals in the G1 Yorkshire Oaks on Thursday.

Enable toys with her opposition and wins by nearly 3 lengths over Magical.

Easy £240,000+ for the connections and Dettori gets anudder G1 win.

The bookies have had their say on that ultimately deflating Arc de Triomphe. A Bookmakers.tv spokesperson said: “Enable fever allowed Waldgeist to go off at a huge price in the UK relative to his form and he’s saved British firms a record Arc payout by picking up the mare in the dying strides.

“However favourable the result for the trading departments of the bookmakers, it’s a huge anti-climax on what would have been a monumental day for racing. Another win for Frankie and Enable would have lead the news bulletins at a perfect time in the build up to Ascot’s Champions Day and this highlights the risks of a one-horserace marketing strategy in such an unpredictable sport.”
