Enable was named 2019 Cartier Horse of the Year on Tuesday in London, one of four Cartier winners trained in England by John Gosden.
It was the second time in three years Enable was honored as Europe’s best horse. She won the award as a 3-year-old of 2017 but her shortened 4-year-old campaign in 2018 led to Roaring Lion earning Cartier Horse of the Year.

Lucky Lilac stormed up the rail under Christophe Soumillon to capture the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, her first Group 1 tally, on Sunday at Kyoto Racecourse in Japan.
Crocosmia, who set the pace from the start and took a long lead into the Kyoto homestretch, held second, 1 1/4 lengths behind Lucky Lilac and a neck in front of race favorite Loves Only You. Centello finished fourth and second choice Chrono Genesis was fifth, but the winner proved much the best thanks to a sparkling turn off foot through the final 2 1/2 furlongs.
Champions Way, who won six of seven starts during the 2018-2019 racing season, his first in Hong Kong, tops the Class 1 Panasonic Cup Handicap, the featured race Saturday at Sha Tin as the Hong Kong venue departs from its typical Sunday afternoon programming.
Champions Way is one of five John Size-trained entrants in this 1,400-meter handicap. He sits atop the race ratings at 108, a massive jump from the mark of 52 at which he began last Hong Kong season, and all Size’s starters rate among the top eight in a field of 13.
