Will Enable win the Breeders Cup Turf?

The answer must be "very hard to beat"
She must be fresh and possibly needed the ARC run after only one prep and considering Sea of Class is going to focus on next years Arc and cut losses for this season, we can continue backing the "star".

Good punting

It`s usually one of the weaker races and easiest for Europeans to win(IF the entries turn up this year it looks a cracker)

Well Enable is going for it so Frankie can have another big one.

I doubt there is a Turf horse on earth that will beat her over 2400m? She is simply brilliant and should improve again with the Arc and second run behind her... great racing to look forward to!

British and Irish bookmakers think Enable can end the hoodoo, making her 4-6 for the Turf, and she heads to the race off a light campaign after returning from injury.

Gosden said: "She comes relatively fresh after two runs and we'd be hopeful of a big run. But when you're shipping that far you don't go there full of confidence until you know how the horse has travelled."

In 2015, the Gosden-trained Golden Horn was unable to follow up victory at Longchamp in the Turf at Keeneland, finishing second to Found.

Reflecting on that performance, Gosden said: "He wasn't beaten by anything other than the fact it rained an inch and a half and the track was very deep and loose. He spun his wheels and hated the surface."

Returning to Enable, Gosden does not expect the layout of Churchill Downs to be an impediment to the filly as she tackles a mile and a half around three turns.
"It's a sand-based track and rides pretty well," he said. "It's tight, but she went round Chester on the second race of her three-year-old career and handled that particularly well, and she got round Epsom. I think the track will be fine."

While Roaring Lion and Cracksman will not be back at Gosden's Clarehaven Stables in Newmarket next year, Enable might stay in training as a five-year-old, the decision to be made after she runs at the Breeders' Cup.

On the other hand Roaring Lion has it all to do on the dirt ?

Yes Enable will create history and knock them out on the turf. There isn’t a horse around that will beat her over 2400m. She also races handy which will help. I can’t see her doing anything but winning by 5!!!!

Roaring Lion, my favorite horse at the moment, tough bugger but shame, he has it all to do.. I feel for him being sent to the classic on the dirt after such a long season but I just hope he finishes ok and sound and can then go and enjoy all those mares. He really has been a soldier this year. I think O’Brien might break his classic curse with Mendelssohn.. been well prepared for this!

Great racing to look forward to..

Champions do what champions do.

Dual Arc heroine Enable will stay in training and target an unprecedented third win in Europe's premier race following her dramatic victory at Longchamp last month.

The news was revealed on Monday morning by Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner Khalid Abdullah, who said no schedule had been set but that all roads would lead to Paris in the autumn.
