ENABLE NAMED CARTIER HORSE OF THE YEAR

By Emma Berry

LONDON, UK–Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) became just the third horse to be named Cartier Horse of the Year for the second time following her Group 1 victories this season in the Coral-Eclipse, King George VI & Queen Elizabeth QIPCO S., and Darley Yorkshire Oaks. Juddmonte’s outstanding homebred 5-year-old was first given the award in 2017 and joins Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and Ouija Board (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) in becoming a dual winner.

Set to return to the racecourse in 2020, Enable was also named Older Horse of the Year for the second year running. The first European mare to exceed career earnings of , 10-million, she has been beaten only twice in 15 starts, most recently when finishing second to Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) when attempting to win the G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe for a record third time. “Bountiful talent combined with a courageous running style make her a joy to watch and it is no wonder that Enable is so popular with everyone in racing,” said Cartier’sracing consultant Harry Herbert. “It is exciting that Prince Khalid Abdullah is keeping her in training for 2020, when she could become the first three-time winner of the Cartier Horse of the Year.”
