Enable wins her third King George!

- Enable produced another sparkling display to claim an unprecedented third victory in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes.
John Gosden’s superstar mare was narrowly denied in her bid to become the first three-time winner of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe last season - and has been kept in training as a six-year-old with the primary objective of putting that right in October.
However, she first had the chance to make history at Ascot, having become only the third dual King George winner - after Dahlia (1973 and 1974) and Swain (1997 and 1998) - when getting the better of a pulsating duel with Crystal Ocean 12 months ago.
After delighting connections when finishing second behind Ghaiyyath on her reappearance in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown three weeks ago, Enable was the 4-9 favourite to claim her third King George - facing just two opponents in Aidan O’Brien’s pair of Japan and Sovereign.
Ridden by William Buick, last year’s surprise Irish Derby winner Sovereign cut out much of the running - opening up a significant advantage at one stage over Enable and Frankie Dettori and Japan under Ryan Moore.
However, it was clear rounding the home turn that the leader’s petrol tank was beginning to empty - while Dettori remained motionless aboard Enable and was even able to take a nonchalant look over his shoulder to see Japan toiling in behind.
Once given her head, Enable strode clear magnificently and passed the post five and a half lengths clear under her jubilant rider, with Sovereign filling the runner-up spot.
Gosden said: “With Anthony Van Dyck not there, it was obvious Sovereign would set a solid pace, not a mad one. Given Japan has won a Juddmonte International over 10 furlongs, he was always going to ride him to beat us for toe, but it went perfectly.
“I’m always worried here when you get rain on quick ground, because they can lose their hind legs, but thankfully that didn’t happen.
“Her work had been very good leading into this, and she was quite imperious today.
“It’s a pleasure to see when Frankie’s looking round, but if you do it too much you might fall off! She won it very nicely - I think he only gave her one flick.
“As they get older, they get more professional and think once they are two or three lengths clear they can ease up, but you never know if another horse is coming.”
He added: “It was a small but elite field today. There aren’t that many about once Ghaiyyath elected to go to York, and the Oaks and Derby winners live at Ballydoyle. To that extent, the best were on show.
“She trained really well for this. Last year Crystal Ocean was a hard nut to crack, and there was a certain Waldgeist in third, and we know what he went and did (won the Arc)
“On the other hand, if she had won that day in France she wouldn’t have been here today.
“I’d been very open that I let her come in her own time this year - she’s highly intelligent, she doesn’t need me to ask her too much, she brought herself here in top nick today.
“Between her training herself and Frankie training her, sometimes there’s not much room for me!”
Enable looks likely to make her next appearance at next month’s Ebor Festival at York, before her bid for more history in Paris.
Gosden said: “York has always been on the agenda - there are two races (Juddmonte International and Yorkshire Oaks), and we’ll look at both, as we did last year.
“York could be really exciting, with an exceptional Oaks winner (Love) heading there as well.”
Dettori performed his trademark flying dismount in the winner’s enclosure - and was visibly emotional as he reflected on the victory.
He said: “Since the Eclipse, she has really turned a corner. Her work has been good, and her enthusiasm has been back.
“Quietly I was expecting a good performance, but I wasn’t expecting her to win by five lengths against the likes of Japan.
“I’m very emotional, because I’ve only got her maybe for another two months, so every race is special - and I’m really going to enjoy this one.
“It’s three King Georges for her, and I’ve joined Lester Piggott with seven wins.”
Awesome by Enable. Looking forward to watching this horse run at York.
Richard Hoiles with the epic commentary! Never loved a woman as much as I loved Enable. Don’t tell my wife 😐😂👌🏼
She is so very special handled brilliant by John godsen,love to see her win a third arc.

Winning time 2m 28.92s (slow by 0.42s), she won in 2:32.42 in 2019. She did all she was asked. She is Arc bound.
Arc bound, doesn't win it.....
The clock never lies, even if you are unsure what your eyes saw. But yes, you are correct, until she does it we'll never know. I'm sure Dettori and Gosden as well as the owner will give the thumbs up. It might be like Istabraq's last race, where he pulled up and everyone cheered their salute.
Well said....that time on a drenchedtrack at Ascot....odds on going into theArc
@@krishnamadoo9953 won't be odds on for Arc, I love racing and I hope she does win 3rd Arc, but stats are against her, but stats get rewritten.....
@@markperryman1797 You need to look up the word bound ?
Awesome mare! A history making 3rd King George & Queen Elizabeth Stakes win and does it under a hands and heals ride from Frankie after a lot of pundits were saying she's vulnerable in this race being 6 years old. Bring on the Arc! She will win a third Arc this year in my opinion and defeat Love in winning it. The only horse that i could see going close to defeating her over 12 furlongs is Contrail and connections will not be bringing him over from Japan this year. Japan looked like he wasn't stretching out well and it will be interesting to hear from Aidan in the coming days. Hopefully he's not injured. Enable along with Almond Eye over 12 furlongs, Winx along with Almond Eye from a mile to 10 furlongs and Black Caviar from 5 furlongs to 7 furlongs are the four best turf mares that I've seen in my 30 years of being a fan.
I love enable but I wouldn't right love off.
@@midlandsballistics6345 Yes you could be right as she was impressive in the 1000 guineas and Epsom Oaks although Ennistymon didn't really frank the form in the Irish equivalent. She did have a few runs in a short space of time though. I'm on Enable all the way.
don't rate the french entries then? :/ she didn't win it last year she won't be winning it this year
@@moulinyan The only French entry that i rate would be Sottsass who's high class but he couldn't get near Enable with his three year old weight allowance last year. I'm not to sure if you have seen a replay of last years Arc but Enable intentionally or not was switched to the rail for the last furlong and a half by Frankie and it was by far the worse part of the track. Waldgeist was bought down the middle of the track where the best part of the track was. Enable had defeated Waldgeist each time they had met before last years Arc. The French 3 year olds are not as good as previous years and you only have to watch the French Derby where Mishriff who is trained in the UK won the race to tell you that. If you guys had a Peintre Celebre, Zarkava or Treve from recent times waiting in the wings then i would be very interested. Love has been very impressive but i want to see her do what she has done to her own age group to older horses. Enable all the way to a historical double three peat in the same calendar year for me!
Amazing horse
I adore Enable. Such Star quality. All crossed for the Arc. Eek!
The Lady is a CHAMP!!!!!
Take nothing away from Enable 3x King George winner is some achievement.
However,
This race used to be prestigious. They need to up the prize money. It hasn't changed since the 60's.
Date should be changed to the Second Saturday of August between Goodwood and the Ebor.
The prize money in the UK is terrible. If it really was world class it would be world class prize money two. It takes alot to send horses from overseas. For below average prize money
It is Britain's second richest horse race, with a purse exceeded only by that of The Derby. Stop talking bollocks.
@@burningsagemanmusic7491 Two? Do you mean 'too'? It's the second richest race in Britain!
Oooooh!
Yes, and it has not accounted for inflation. You still give your kid, 10p pocket money a week old boy. fwa fwa fwa.
Not sure, but Brough Scott did say if the time was confirmed that would be the fastest time the last quarter was run in the race, given how many great horses have contested that race it would be quite remarkable if that was true.
Impressive even though it was not competitive. It was more an exhibition on how a horse will race to instruction - she looked relaxed the whole way and Frankie knew what he had under him so it looked like a an easy piece of work but I'm hearing that the last two furlongs were a record so that's got to be good for Arc 3.0!!
All class but very much expected ..
Enable could have stayed on the bridle and still have won.. would have been a sight to see her quicken up without been shaken
Well said just ease the gears through like Hugh Bowman on Winx. And the leader had no chance anyway, hard ridden the whole way. Pacemaking should be banned.
Officially she won easily, but it's all about getting her to peak fitness so they gave her a little bit of a work out, but she was never under any real pressure.
@@kelletman Spot on
@@kelletman Frankie gave her a nudge at the 300m mark he could have have her a nudge at the 400m and she would have won by 10
@Kath Beck I hope Hugh Bowman gets what he deserves. 12 months is what I am hoping for!
When a horse has won 11 G1s, including 2 Arcs, 3 King George's and a Breeders Cup, and wins like that, the performance can't be knocked. The field size was a joke, but saying "beat nothing" about a horse with her record makes you look a tit, particularly because both are G1 winners over todays distance.
Beating an irish derby winner and juddmonte intl winner and making them look like donkeys is no joke
@@CaptainStabbin1989 Selective formline picks. Eziyra, who finished ahead of them both, was beaten 8L by Enable. Waldgeist had previously lost to Enable three times, by a combined 17L. Her 3yo season was one of the best ever; Oaks treble, 5x G1s in three different countries at a combined winning distance of 23L, against her own age and older horses. Leave the jingoism out of racing.
@@CaptainStabbin1989 The records she broke were set by horses running in the same "European conditions". Also, she seldom (I can't think of a single occasion) raced against other horses owned by Khalid Abdullah or trained by John Gosden. She had no pacemakers, nor any stablemates, in her group races - Her owner and trainer are known for not running multiple horses in races in Europe. She won G1s at eight different tracks (which tend to vary more in Europe), in four countries, on ground ranging from hvy to GF. There is really no debate to be had here.
@@CaptainStabbin1989 She covered the final 3F in 33.2s at the Curragh in the Irish Oaks. That is astonishing over a 12f race at the Curragh. You're clueless, to put it kindly.
@@CaptainStabbin1989 Now we get to the crux of it. You have to hop on CZcams and slate European champions in order to big up Australian champions. Honestly, I don't get people who do this, both Euros and Aussies. Racing in Europe and Oz are like different sports - Stop comparing them.
As far as I know, Enable runs at Kempton on Saturday before another tilt at Longchamp and the Arc De Triomphe.
Goosebumps.
What a champion! What are people’s thought on Stradivarius against Santiago?
Stradivarius all the way
Santiago all day long for me
More rain forcast ..we all know Stradivarious handles cut....easy win in them conditions......except for Love word out that O Briens 2yos last year were his poorest for seasons.....keep the doubting going and extra to the favourites price...
Santiago getting that much weight is the winner all day for me, off levels it's Stradivarius.
Remember the days of Persian Punch.....
Superb horse. Not sure how much credence today tho. Poor opposition tho. Def in top 5 all time mares. Allez france pawneese. Oh so sharp enable and dahlia
The greatest horse ever and the greatest jockey ever. What a duo enable and frankie best in the world!!!
Maravilhosa!
3 Runners and its a Super Star
Gosden wasn't playing... Her first up run at Sandown was only a little warm up!!! The small field was sad to see, but he also explained that. It's situation in the world with this virus and racing starting late there. What I took out of it was her cruising speed and the way she hit the line. She's come back better than ever. Reminded me of her as a 3yr old. Amazing mare and probably the best CV you will see in world racing
Historic Arc treble beckons...
Honestly...this king george for me is still a fitness run to the main target...the ARC
She didnt even break a sweat
The ARC...here I come!😁
THE ARC NO3 is ON THE WAY!!!!
Genius
Where are all these group 1 UK middle distance horses I keep hearing about? it's a little embarrassing for the industry however taking nothing away from Enable she's a great mare.
" . . . A mare in 10 million!" Oh, behave! (apologies to you know whom)
Can someone please tell me why there was only 4 runners.
Three runners, the truth is the mile and a half horses aren't that good really, and O'Brien chose not run any three year olds.
Want to see her in Juddmonte International
Great win , but 3 runners is pathetic
Feel the quality, not the width.
Quality over quantity
3 runners shame really for such a course
It's not always about quantity, but there are those who need numbers.
3 runners seriously
Just for clarity in not ideal conditions and only her second race this season she ran a 124 speed rating, that means a colt would need to run 127 or better to beat her here, and she was only pushed out at the end she had alot more in the tank. Once she hits 127 she is out of reach of any current horse in training and she will win the Arc this time.
three horses? Ridiculous
3 horses and you poms doubt how good Winx was....cut it out
Winx won a 3 horse group one race.
What has this race got to do with Winx?
Winx beat stablemates put in to make up numbers half the time.
It is a pity that Japan does not train on as a 4-year old. It is perfectly sensible to keep Japan in training at four despite the achievement of two Group 1. His year was by no means a vintage year in the middle-distance group, and Japan is already the best in the crop (maybe except Logician, which is more of an unknown factor). His preceding crop was even weaker, with the more capable horses all retired. So, if Enable couldn't keep her standard as a 6-year old, Japan will be the king of middle distance (at that time, we did not know there was a horse called Love). This is a gamble that has gone south. If Japan could not recover its group 1 form some time soon, his value as a stallion would be greatly reduced by his 4-year old campaign.
a Group race with 3 runners ?...you must be joking...
3 runners in a king George, wow! You have to worry about the next 2 years of horse racing after that
If they persist with corona virus bla bla, yes
Stay calm and carry on
There wasnt much out there because our derby hopefuls were disgraced, it's a blip of a season but it's all going down to the ark that will be the leveler, so many good horses in that one and no pretenders there.
Where all all the coolmore haters today.. only for them and there would have been no race.
Great achievement to win 3 King Gs, tbf tho this was a penalty kick with let be honest at top grp 1 level, 2 poor rivals in the field. But fair play can only beats whats in race with her and did it easy
I LOVE ENABLE. ..work that one out.
Galileo on one side, his father on the other. I haven't seen a better mare in all my puff. Who will they mate her with is the only question. The Northern Dancer line is out. Sea the stars?
She’s no Winx!
Very true.
She was able to beat Highland Reel by 9 lengths and Benbatl by 11.
She's also capable of winning the world's best 12f races whereas Winx couldn't even win the ATC Oaks.
Winx is and always will be the best there was!!
LOL
Enjoy your fantasyland.
Correct she left her country to win group ones further afield unlike the mighty winx 😂
Omly £600 on today.... But you see why ....
Rob, you should have put more on - it was free money at the odds.
@@nedpoines8104 Easy money.
How can such as race have only 3 runners???
1 Anthony van Dyck Oisin Murphy (SCR) 🇮🇪
2 Japan Ryan Moore 🇮🇪
3 Sovereign William Buick 🇮🇪
4 Enable Frankie Dettori 🇬🇧
1 御用畫匠 莫艾誠 (退出) 🇮🇪
2 日出之國 莫雅 🇮🇪
3 一國元首 布宜學 🇮🇪
4 成全寶 戴圖理 🇬🇧
Enable now enters the book of legends
Some horse an I know people will slate me but she didn’t beat much, Japan clearly hated the ground an sovereign was never going to have a chance but I take nothing away from the win but would of preferred a bit better competition
Agreed, very poor turnout, difficult to believe there are no other class horses
Let me be the first. Yes, you are an idiot, one that should never comment about horse racing ever again because you clearly have no clue as to what you are talking about. "She didn’t beat much ..." ??? She TROUNCED the Irish Derby winner ... in a canter ... as a six year old ... in a race only won by the best of the best. That's not bad is it? It's just a shame she wasn't entered for the Irish Derby herself instead of the Oaks. How much more easily could she have won a legendary grade one against a derby winner? What is better competition than a derby winner when racing over a mile and a half?
Most trainers took their horses out because they knew they didn't stand a chance,and the time in which she won says it all
Really, 11 group one wins and she's beat nothing, when she's on song she's going to beat whats put in front of her.
kelletman I understand but she hasn’t beat much has she, I’m on bout the race yesterday not every race she’s had
She’s good but winx would beat her
Winx couldn't win a weak Group One in Australia over 2400m.
Japan not 100 percent sound
Only two horses as rivals just a shambles of a field just let the horse win utter JOKE
Long Live Prince Khalid Abdullah!
Hahaha only if you bet in horses. He’s a pain for other trainers 😂
Please tell me more... I follow his horses... Is he a difficult man😅
@@nicolettebrand971 He's a thoroughly decent and great man who treats his employees very well, and has done so for decades. Long Live Prince Khalid Abdullah!
Did Alex Hammond tell everybody she was delighted for the horse and jockey and trainer and owner and groom and stable lad and every body who ever existed? Did she also tell us that Japan ran a great race? What a wonderful day eh Alex?
Japan very overrated even by Moore ! You can only beat what’s in front of you, the other trainers scared to take on Enable
I don't think they are, the truth there's not many mile and a half horses around that are that good at the moment.
@ the royal tuff st.lucia°!.
Dettori's im pakistan and AMIR (MAJIG) my father.good race best off luck
Ryan Moore looking at Frankies bum as usual
Come face the Australian horses, will get destroyed
Lmao
Enable cantered all over them, Japan seriously over rated horse cant see Japan ever beating Enable
I have thought this for the past year. I’m not entirely sure why the industry seems to place Japan as an equal to Enable
Japan was beaten by the ground
joke race, no competition
Obviously you must think Coolmore is a joke establishment, they have been sending their finest against Enable for the last 3 years to no avail, maybe you should apply for a job there, bet they would be chafing at the bit to employ someone like you, maybe then they can get Enable beat.
It may have only been a 3 horse race but could she have won it any more impressively?
who was he racing though? bob the builder a better horse would slam enable had its best days
Wow you are the biggest hypocrite I’ve seen, your comments on multiple different videos slagging off other horses for small fields, quality of opposition and more yet here you are praising the victory of enable in a field of three against ok opposition. Don’t mistake me for an enable hater because she is absolutely brilliant, one of the best but this comment just shows your clear bias view on horse racing, “ if it’s not from England or doesn’t race in England it’s not good enough for me”
Well then I guess all of those comments on multiple videos were wasted on you then because you've clearly totally missed the point.
Can I be bothered explaining it to you?
I'll have to think about that.
El Gran Senor you can’t explain to me cause I’m right, you have no point to make because everything you say is literally contradicting your base arguments. nothing about this race screams superior racing, maybe you should start to appreciate other countries racing instead of shitting on them just because you have a biased point of view
Totally wrong.
This race doesn't highlight the quality and depth of European middle distance racing but you have heard of something called COVID I presume.
Our season only started 6-7 weeks ago
Over the past 6-7 weeks there have still been 2/3 even 4 horses better than all the horses racing in Australia over the past 6 years apart from Winx.
In that 6 year period we've had 12/15/20 horses better than all of Winxs opponents put together.
This COVID impacted race doesn't demonstrate that, but I didn't say that did I?
I said despite the disappointing field Enable was still impressive.
I didn't ever say Winx wasn't impressive the way she won despite her poor opposition but she ran in 33 weak races and zero strong races.
A true champion but let's be honest a joke of a race. Should be a limit to the minimum amount off horses to run in a group 1 cause 3 is not enough
Rodney Mckee people shout about the minimum a trainer can have albeit the owners. If O’Brien has no runners it would of been a WALKOVER Group 1.
Embarrassing
@@MrSmid888 exactly look at all the stick obrian gets for running 6 in the derby where are all the other trainers the for me there is to many middle distance group 1s in Europe enable today magical tomorrow and glorious Goodwood all in 6 days stupid
Rodney Mckee At the end of the day the owners pay the money.
That’s a good point that. That’s what ruins a race like today. To many options. Pack them into 1.
@@MrSmid888 it's the exact reason we never got to see enable v cracksman left more questions than answers. Thats why I like obrian runs his best horses against each other throughout the season and by the of it we know who the best is. Hawk wing v rock of Gibraltar the 1st that comes to mind
@@rodneymckee8431 It would have been a good race to see Cracksman vs Enable. But all great horses are protected species to a degree...
↓日本人見てる数
Japan was disgraced, the trainer overates his horse, good run from Enable can't wait for france against Love
disgraced?? holy f^&k!
Japan is overrated
enable's time was 5 seconds faster than that of love's in the oaks.
@@normansmithers7631 eh check your facts Love broke Enables record time for the oaks. If you are trying to compare Enables time today at Ascot against Love at Epsom that's just daft. Enable is an all time great but father time catches up on all horses and the Arc this year will be a step too far (again)
Japan was beaten by a better horse and the ground you dipshit
Looking at the race time very slow, Winx would have beaten her by 8 lengths, you poms complained about Winx beating also rans. What was this?
Winx raced once at 2400 and was beaten.
El Gran Senor before she matured into a legend 33 in a row and world record of 23 group 1s
Yeah, and she never raced over 2400 again.
The point was about the 2400.
Enable has won 6 of the worlds biggest 2400 races and Winx has never won over 2400.
So that sort of makes your comment look pretty stupid.
If this race had been over 2000 you may have had a tiny shred of credibility.
And finally, this is not actually a slow time over 2400 at Ascot.
I real NON EVENT.
The other two had no chance!
Don’t be fooled by the ease of win.
Won’t beat LOVE in the ARC.
Well said
I think your wrong further enable goes the better the arc is her race she should of won last year too two 1st and a 2nd in 3 years theres nothing love has done so far that puts her in the same league as enable
Rocketman YT The further she went in the Arc last year the slower she finished. She was a no horse on her first win. Won the Oaks the same as LOVE. Love will have the age and sex allowances. Pisses up. It’s a poor Arc this year. Love wins.
Remember Youmzain was 2nd in 3 Arcs.
Imagine the 3 winners hadn’t run.
And who remembers Youmzain?
Treve couldn’t do the treble.
We will see....
Was a joke of a race agree with you about love reminds me of minding a few yrs ago once she hits her stride no one catches her
Rodney Mckee yes, I’m not sure her route before the Arc.
But 3yr old Filly’s have a excellent record. The allowances are a big plus.
Treve was the same.
I can’t know from today’s run wether Enable is in rude health but her winning time from last year suggests so.
TERRIBLE commentaty from Holt. Awful.
Can’t watch this they are going the wrong direction
No your wrong. Ascot is a right handed course so they were going in the right direction.
Ryan Moore is so overated
He is but I don't think he could off done anything there ffs enable won easy
Agreed
Jeff Lane exactly, I don’t really like Ryan to be honest but see no problem with that race
Jeff Lane I never said he was a bad jockey
Jeff Lane he gave it a ride that was impossible to heat enable , why sit behind enable when she has much more speed than Japan , only thing japan has over enable is stamina
Ghaiyyath is better
yikes
I don’t think she will win her third arc .. personally I’d retired her after her second arc . Just me
Agreed
She will
Enable v love in the arc ,you do my want to see that,very strange to follow a sport but not want to see horses race
At a price mishriff John gosdens runner is a good e/w bet .. but if Aiden O’Brien sends love over she will be hard to beat AGAIN just me..
R0BERT☘ why race a mare of her status for place price money . She won’t win
Top 10 filly of all time. If she regains the Arc, she will eclipse Winx.
What is Winx? A European horse, no? Doesn't count...honestly, we don't give a fig about
MegaVector2011 yes you do
@@MegaVector2011 Until the UK bans pacemaking only then the UK will be fair racing. Simple as that.
I'm Australian. She has eclipsed Winx. That's an incredible record at that level of racing!!! Yesterday was sad, but corona virus played it's part, disrupting the season,but nevertheless she's returned better than ever
A real shame Winx nwver raced on the UK. That's why Winx is never spoken about here. I personally respect what Winx did,but i feel her owners should have brought the horse for at least one race over here.
Worst king George ever end of enable would NEVER BEAT sea the stars dancing brave belmez nashwan
Dancing Brave got stuffed in America, Nashwan got beat in an Arc trial, Belmez finished unplaced in his Arc and Sea the Stars never beat a decent horse in his whole career...
You see what you want to see...
@@mrk24107 On ratings enable would never got near any of those I mentioned Dancing brave 141.
@@davidreynolds3724 All of the horses you mentioned put in performances that were rated lower than Enable's best at some stage... so obviously you can't be right that they would all beat her. What you mean is that in conditions that would suit them (track, ground, distance, pace) when they were on their best day, some handicappers (depending on which beaten horse they chose as the yardstick) may have rated them higher..
But Sea the Stars beat a very old Youmazin in one of the poorest Arcs in history and nothing much else in his other races... Dancing Brave beat a horse who broke his cannon bone in his Arc and got beat in a Derby that had only one decent horse in it... Belmez best form doesn't compare to Enable's and Nashwan's form is very easy to pick holes in... most of his grp 1's were very weak (except the Eclipse where the opposition didn't run their race)..
Just enjoy her, she's a very classy mare, who on her day is one of the best ever... just like the other horses you mentioned.
rubbish race 3 lumpsy runners what is this ?
Joke race ffs
