ENABLE RETIRED 12 Oct 2020 11:22
Legendary racemare
Enable has been retired. The brilliant bay ended her career when sixth in the
recent G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, and retires to stud with earnings of
more than 10.7 million pounds in prize money.
The hugely popular
six-year-old, winner of 11 races at the highest level, secured her legacy as
one of racing’s brightest stars with back-to-back victories in the Prix de l’Arc
de Triomphe and a record three wins in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth
Stakes at Ascot.
Trainer John Gosden
said on Monday: “Enable has retired happy and sound after an extraordinary
career. We all here at Clarehaven Stables have been very fortunate to be with
her for the past five years and to appreciate her strong character and athletic
prowess.
“Her daily
presence has been a joy and her record in Group 1s including four Oaks, three
King Georges, two Arcs, an Eclipse and a Breeders’ Cup Turf is a marvel and
unprecedented. We look forward to visiting her nearby in her new career.”
A daughter of
Nathaniel and the Sadler’s Wells mare Concentric, Enable won 15 of 19 outings,
with her only unplaced effort coming in her swansong.
