2018 Longines Breeders' Cup Turf - Enable (GB)

[@quidnunc2436]

If there has ever been a better filly than Enable then she must have raced on some distant planet in the universe. Personally, I have never seen better in 58 years of following the sport.

[@revaselvhen3200]

No matter what any1 says ~ Enable deserves all praise & accolades & respect & applause 4 winning both the Arc 4 the 2nd time & now the BC Turf right after!!!! Nothn any1 can say can take this win or anything else away from her!!!! She is a Champion & an absolutely Beautiful & Breathtaking & Mesmerizing & Extraordinary horse!!!! There is absolutely no need nor any call 2 start comparing other horses against her ~ she is beyond well deserving in this win!!!! Mayb ppl should stop & think that if they wouldn't want others trashing & bad mouthing & putting down tbeir fav horses by comparing them against other horses, then they shouldn't do the exact same thing themselves.... These incredible horses deserve better & each deserves all credit 4 their wins ~ can't enuf b enuf already.... So I say (as a fan of many horses, including Winx) what a truly triumphant & excellent accomplishment by Enable!!!! She is Remarkable & Gorgeous & Magnificent!!!!

What about the jockey ?

[@tonymcgrath700]

Equine Girl power on the world stage, these two brilliant fillies just laughed at the rest of the field and the rest were a talented bunch of group /grade 1 winners

[@lukemccann]

tony mcgrath class. Wasn’t the easiest of passages for Enable. Moore cut every corner on Magical that bit better, saving up petrol here and there. The superstar found more though, what a great race 🏇🏼🏇🏼🔥👍🏼💖

[@barbaradyson6951]

@@lukemccann what you should know that in US races they are allowed to use a drug called lasic which o'Brien uses gosden & fabre don't and the drug is banned in europe so what does that say about o,'brien

Barbara Dyson I agree

[@juliettefranks1058]

I love that they go to America, meet so many new horses but it was still Enable VS Magical 😂💞

[@jeffj6815]

Great post race interview with Team Enable!! 3 kids going to college...damn right he wants to keep racing her!!!

[@jimhart11]

Enable = magnificent. The queen of world horse racing!!!

[@stevencooke6451]

Amazing that she achieved this with so little race preparation. Rarely can call a 4/5 shot good value but I felt it was a worthwhile wager on the arc winner piloted by the master. And in total, a joy to see two fantastic fillies battling it out down the stretch.

QUEEN OF THE WORLD 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Sorry Richard. Longines has just announced Enable's sad abdication. Long live the true Queen - Her Royal Majesty, Winx!

[@peterkemp1973]

In the context of Winx's long reign, Richard, the filly is only an upstart princess. Royal protocol demands that she come down under and prove her lineage!

[@barbaradyson6951]

@@peterkemp1973 hi kempy, suffering again from diarrhoea, oh you forgot to mention Cracksman is champion of the world. Winx as a handicapper set some record in Australia. Nothing like Enables achievement 2 different countries even as you reckon she raced against rubbish.

[@peterkemp1973]

Cracksman - retired? That didn't last long!

[@mjj1701]

Take out Magical, a European, and she has thrashed her international competition by 10!! SIMPLY THE BEST

[@GBeret83]

@maryjo, and lest we forget, Enable was running without the use of any kind of race day medication, whereas Magical was running on Lasix, which Aidan O'Brien always makes sure his horses get that come stateside to race.

[@mjj1701]

@GBeret83 exactly! plus she was giving 4lbs=4 lengths to a fastly maturing Magical. Add in the trip she got, and that's the best performance you'll see all year.

[@keithbraggs2154]

If Magical wasn't there, Enable wouldnt have had to work as hard and probably would have won by about 3 or 4 lengths under wraps.

[@peterkemp1973]

Enable's performance did not impress Longines though. Wonder why?

First. :) To think not one, but 2 fillies blew away the rest of the field which were males. WOW. So called Enable, though. That's my first European winner. EVER.

[@jaytrotter305]

In Europe it is very common for a Filly or Mare to beat the males and here in the U.S is like gold dust!

GRANDIOSO, MAGISTRAL, INCONMENSURABLE. Simplemente genial.

[@supersolo6]

Is it just me... am I the only person who thinks it's absolutely AWESOME to see the riders show emotion on the track crossing the line? I mean, we always see the connections going crazy... but usually the jocks are pretty focused and stoic (for good reason, sure). But to see Frankie pump his fist like that... or in 15 when Victor posed at the line with AP....I mean, shoot. I know we're all superfans, but that makes me literally want to jump in the TV and high five them personally. Maybe it's just me. Lol

MAGISTRAL. Y Franki al milimetro, deberian usar esta carrera para enseñar a los nuevos jockeys como se mide una carra para ganarla. Sencillamente genial.

[@elgransenor1472]

And we now have confirmation that she'll be back in 2019.

[@uhegbu]

A memorable race. Think back to 2015, Found foiled the Derby and Arc winner, Golden Horn. Here a reversal but still Europe one and two and we see the top two jockeys themselves crossing the line.

[@tigerboy1966]

Enable the best in Europe, Winx the best in Australia and Almond Eye probably the best in Japan... should fillies be getting a weight allowance?

[@somersetfan1]

On the ratings Cracksman is better than Enable, but they dodged her twice and Enable seems so genuine and adaptable she's a superstar.

[@richardscott4758]

@@somersetfan1 cracksman was only at his best on SOFT ground which another reason why they never met aswell as her injury .

[@kelletman]

Did it make any difference ?

[@GBeret83]

@tigerboy1966, take out the "probably" about Almond Eye being the best in Japan. There's no probably to it. She's won 4 straight G1's in Japan at distances of 1600m, 2000m, & 2400m, (Japanese 1000 Guineas, Shuka Sho, Japanese Oaks, & Japan Cup), and at no point in any of those four races has Christophe Lemaire ever had to actually get serious with her. I'm so hoping we get to see Enable & Almond Eye go head to head in the 2019 renewal of the Arc!

[@vxrage4245]
