Enable to go after a third Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe win in 2019

Breeders’ Cup Turf and two-time Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Enable will race again as a 5-year-old in 2019, owner Khalid Abdullah’s Juddmonte Farms announced on social media Monday.

A tweet from the Juddmonte account said “a third Arc will be her main target.”

No horse has won the Arc three times. Treve won the race as a 3-year-old of 2013, won it again at 4 in 2014, but finished fourth in 2015 bidding to become the first three-time Arc winner.

Enable finished third in her second start, in April 2017, but has won her other 10 races and became the first horse to win the Arc and the BC Turf in the same year when she captured America’s most important grass race Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs.

Owing to an early-season injury, Enable raced only three times in 2018, and her light campaign is one reason Abdullah has decided to bring her back to race again at age 5.

John Gosden trains Enable, a homebred daughter of Nathaniel and the Sadler’s Wells mare Concentric.
