Enable Prevails in Epic King George Cont SUNDAY, 28 JULY 2019 ROTHSCHILD GRACES DEAUVILLE CARD ENABLE PREVAILS IN EPIC Deauville=s month-long festival begins in earnest on Sunday KING GEORGE with the G1 Prix Rothschild the first of five such events at the Normandy venue. Last year=s G1 Prix Saint-Alary and G1 Prix de Diane heroine Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) returns to France for the fourth time and to this venue for the second, having been runner-up in the 2017 G3 Prix du Calvados prior to her blossoming into the top-class filly we now know so well. Having taken part in the two mile championship races for older horses, the G1 Lockinge S. and G1 Queen Anne S., she returns to the company of her own sex and will be a warm order to carry on the seemingly endless overseas domination of French feature races. Second in the former at Newbury on May 18, John Dance=s 4-year-old was sixth at Royal Ascot on June 18 and it is fair to say that those encounters represent puzzling form. Trainer Karl Burke is hoping she can get her season back on track. AI=ve been happy with her for the last couple of weeks,@ he said. AShe=s 100% over a little problem and we=re looking Enable denies Crystal Ocean in the King George | racingfotos.com forward to running her.@ Cont. p10 By Tom Frary Everybody wanted a great visual outcome to what looked a great race on paper and that is what we all got on Saturday as Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) overcame Crystal Ocean (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) in a thrilling tete-a-tete in Ascot=s G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Qipco S. Gaining the edge on the Stoute stalwart two out, the heavily-supported 8-15 favourite kept rolling to hold a slim but definite advantage bar a brief period where they came inches closer inside the final furlong. Frankie was just waving his whip at the great mare all the way to the line, where a neck separated them in one of the King Georges to enter into legend. Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) gave ballast to the form, 1 3/4 lengths further back in third, with seven lengths to Salouen (Ire) (Canford Cliffs {Ire}) in fourth and the likes of Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Defoe (Ire) (Dalakhani Laurens | Racing Post {Ire}) soundly beaten. Dettori was just affirming his greatness in a pressure-filled finale that no other jockey would have ridden without applying the whip. AThat was the hardest-fought race IN TDN AMERICA TODAY I=ve ridden in during my career,@ explained the maestro, whose TAX TURNS TABLES ON LUCKLESS TACITUS IN DANDY whole life journey seems to have led to this midsummer spell of Tacitus (Tapit) defeated Tax (Arch) in the GII Wood Memorial S. in unparalleled brilliance. This was his ninth Group 1 success since April, but the latter reversed form in Saturday’s GII Jim Dandy S. at Anapurna (GB) (Frankel {GB}) took the Epsom Oaks at the end of Saratoga, in no small part due to a stumbling start for the favored May.

Dettori was at pains to express how hard it had been for the winner, who led an unprecedented one-two-three-four for the 5-year-olds. AFull credit to Crystal Ocean, he really put it up to me,@ he said. AThe original plan was to move forward from the start, but Boudot kept me wide [on Waldgeist] and so I took a chance and dropped back. I must admit, on the bad ground in the back straight I wasn=t too comfortable. I saw James sitting pretty and going really well, so I had to make a race of it and jump on him. I probably took him by surprise and then the gloves were off.@ Doyle said of the runner-up, AHe gave it all there. I had a superb trip throughout the race and they went a nice pace. He settled in a lovely position and Frankie said pulling up >my mare had to dig really deep there=. I headed her for a second, but she just digs into her reserves.@ She has one more top-level victory to carry out to match the 10 of Frankel (GB) and it would be apt were she to do it in York=s G1 Juddmonte International that he dominated in such sensational style in 2012. If she makes that Aug. 21 feature of Enable prior to the King George | Racing Post the Ebor meeting, it will be the only race to be graced by both of the great homebreds and then she will be Arc-bound for a third time as she bids to cap it all with a magical exit.

That is the constant fate of Crystal Ocean, who will go down Frankie is making the most of the time he has left on board and as one of the best horses not to win this prize but it is debatable said, AI ride her twice a week and she gives me emotions no whether he would be able to upstage her even if the allowance other horse has given me in my life.

AThe pace was solid and in the end she Juddmonte=s ability to turn up these machine-like processors carried him into the race a little too easily and he was in front a of big races without hitch is remarkable and arguably Enable has long way out.

  • Sea the Stars & Crystal Ocean
    TUESDAY, 26 JUNE 2018 There was never going to be any difficulty in their first season, PEDIGREE INSIGHTS: SEA THE when Sea The Stars was priced at i85,000 and Frankel at ,125,000 and they respectively covered 136 and 131 mares. The STARS & CRYSTAL OCEAN problem is that there isn't an endless supply of breeders prepared to invest heavily in untried but high-priced stallions and events showed that not even Sea The Stars and Frankel were immune to the fluctuating demand that affects so many young stallions in their first four seasons. It now seems hard to believe that Sea The Stars's totals in those first four years were 136, 83, 138 and 82 mares. Frankel's figures were 131, 128, 104 and 105. Perhaps Frankel's arrival as a stallion in 2013 was partly to blame for Sea The Stars's book falling to 82 mares, but their main problem was that these unproven horses were competing against stallions whose ability to sire top performers had been proven time after time.
