The thunderous applause that once echoed through racecourses across Europe now finds a permanent home as the magnificent Enable secures her place among racing's immortals. The superstar mare, whose partnership with legendary jockey Frankie Dettori became the stuff of sporting folklore, has been officially inducted into the QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame.
A Career For The History Books
Under the expert guidance of trainer John Gosden, Enable compiled a career that transcended the sport itself. Her incredible journey saw her become the first horse in history to claim back-to-back victories in both the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes.
The statistics alone are staggering:
- 15 career starts with 11 spectacular victories
- Historic dual Arc de Triomphe triumphs (2017, 2018)
- Unprecedented three consecutive King George VI and Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes wins
- Multiple Group 1 victories across three remarkable seasons
The Unforgettable Dettori-Gosden Partnership
The chemistry between Frankie Dettori in the saddle and John Gosden in the training yard created one of modern racing's most potent combinations. Dettori's flamboyant riding style perfectly complemented Enable's relentless determination, while Gosden's masterful training programme allowed her to maintain peak condition across multiple championship seasons.
"She wasn't just a racehorse; she was a phenomenon that captured the public's imagination," racing enthusiasts often remark when recalling Enable's glorious campaigns.
Beyond the Winner's Circle
What truly set Enable apart was her extraordinary consistency at the highest level of international competition. From the hallowed turf of Ascot to the challenging Longchamp circuit in Paris, she demonstrated versatility, courage, and sheer class that left spectators in awe.
Her induction into the Hall of Fame serves as permanent recognition of a horse that didn't just win races—she elevated the entire sport and created memories that will endure for generations of racing fans.
As one of only twelve inaugural inductees, Enable's legacy is now permanently enshrined alongside other greats of the turf, ensuring that future generations will understand and appreciate the magnitude of her extraordinary achievements.
