No Breeders' Cup Turf for Enable, but she may race next year

The 2019 campaign for Enable ended with her runner-up finish in the Arc de Triomphe on Oct. 6, but she could race next season at age 6 in an attempt to win the Arc for a third time.

The Racing Post reported Tuesday that Enable will not contest the Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita. She won the race last year at Churchill Downs.

Enable is owned by Khalid Abudullah, whose racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe told The Racing Post that Enable’s “racing programme will be determined entirely by her wellbeing, so no racing plans will be announced at this stage. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe remains an important target."

John Gosden trains Enable, who has won 13 races and $13,663,326 from 15 starts, including the Arc in 2017-18.

Enable’s apparent defection from the Breeders’ Cup shifts early favoritism to Bricks and Mortar, the Chad Brown trainee whois 5 for 5 this year. Bricks and Mortar also is under consideration for the BC Mile.

Daily Racing Form will update Breeders’ Cup odds later, with Bricks and Mortar inheriting Turf favoritism.
