Racing’s love affair with Enable began on a thundery afternoon at Epsom in June 2017 and continued for the remainder of an unparalleled career.
Her CV boasts 11 Group 1 wins across two continents and four countries as she was tested against all-comers of all ages at the likes of Ascot, Chantilly, Churchill Downs, the Curragh, Longchamp, Sandown and York.
These performances all bore witness to her incredible attitude and will to win.
It is a testament to her connections that she was able to race for five seasons and at the age of six to be still mixing it with the best.
Trainer John Gosden, jockey Frankie Dettori, groom Imran Shahwani and the rest of the team at Clarehaven Stables are all deserving of high praise, but most of all it is to owner-breeder Prince Khalid Abdullah for giving us – the racing public – the chance to enjoy her for so long.
This look back at an extraordinary career has been compiled using the back catalogue of the Racing Post with its award-winning writers and photographers to retell the story of one of the best – and most popular – racehorses of modern times.
