Champion mare Enable only had to beat two rivals to win her third Group I King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (1m4f) at Ascot overnight and she did it in style.
The six year-old daughter of Galileo sire Nathaniel breezed past the Aidan O’Brien pair of Galileo stallions Sovereign and Japan to win by five and a half lengths with regular partner Frankie Dettori in the saddle.
“
Enable really trained beautifully for this race and is back in top order, there's no doubt about that. We've been thrilled with her at home. I was expecting to see that, but life can be full of disappointment,” said her trainer John Gosden..
“I remember great horses like Swain and Dahlia, those who won it twice, so to come back from injury and win it three times and do it as a three, five and six-year-old, she's some racemare.”
A homebred for Juddmonte Farms, Enable is the best of six winners from stakes-winning Sadler’s Wells mare Concentric, a sister to the dam of Group I winner and sire Flintshire.
