Trainer John Gosden and jockey Frankie Dettori combined to take down the featured race on the first two days of the Glorious Goodwood festival in England this week and have a chance to run that string to three when Mediyaah starts Thursday in the Group 1 Nassau Stakes.

Dettori and Gosden landed the Group 1 Goodwood Cup on Tuesday with Stradivarius and the Group 1 Sussex Stakes on Wednesday with Too Darn Hot, and while Mediyaah isn’t in the same league as those two horses, she might be good enough to win the Nassau, a fillies-and-mares race contested over just less than 1 ¼ miles.

Too Darn Hot can take another step toward restoring his outsized reputation as a 2-year-old when he starts as the favorite in the Group 1 Sussex Stakes on Wednesday at Goodwood Racecourse in England.

Laurens, bred in France and based in England with trainer Karl Burke, won her third Group 1 race in France in Sunday’s $333,840 Prix Rothschild for fillies and mares at a mile at Deauville Racecourse.

Laurens, the 9-5 favorite, was always near the front in the race run on a straightaway. Ridden by P.J. McDonald, Laurens led a group of six runners in the middle of the course through the first half-mile, while three others raced closer to the inside rail.

Enable won her 11th race in a row, but not without a struggle, as Crystal Ocean gave the great mare all she could handle Saturday at Ascot in the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Overcoming a wide draw and a ground-losing trip under Frankie Dettori, Enable got up onto Crystal Ocean’s back with more than a quarter-mile to run in the 1 1/2-mile King George. Enable forged to a half-length lead with about a furlong-and-a-half remaining before Crystal Ocean battled back along the inside, getting nearly onto even terms with Enable before she finished him off.

Obligate, unbeaten in three starts, will face by far the toughest test of her young career in Sunday’s Group 1 Prix Rothschild for fillies and mares at a mile on turf at Deauville, France.

Obligate is one of three 3-year-olds in a field of nine in the $333,840 Rothschild Stakes, the leading race for female milers at the summertime Deauville meeting. Judging from her recent performances, Obligate has every chance to extend her winning streak in her first start outside of her age group.

The entire point of judiciously employing the term “great” is to save it for things that truly merit the description, to make sure “great” still means something.

Well, here is a real chance to let it rip, as the great Enable takes to the races again Saturday at Ascot in the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Twelve races, 11 wins, a 10-race win streak, eight Group 1’s, two Arcs, the only horse to win the Arc and the Breeders’ Cup Turf in the same season – yep, that seems to qualify Enable in the pantheon of greatness.

Four-year-old filly Sea of Class, one of Europe’s top horses last year, had to be euthanized Monday morning in England after developing lymphoma.

The ascendant Star Catcher, ridden by Frankie Dettori, his star still shining bright, proved uncatchable Saturday at The Curragh, making all the pace and holding off Fleeting by a half-length to win the Group 1 Irish Oaks.

Fleeting, beaten 1 1/2 lengths by Star Catcher when the fillies finished one-two last month in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot over this same 1 1/2-mile trip, made serious midstretch inroads on Star Catcher’s lead, but Dettori had perfectly figured the pace, and Star Catcher had enough energy for one final winning push in the last half-furlong.

Japan won the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris on Sunday going 1 1/2 miles at Longchamp – the same course and distance where the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe will be contested in October. That race, Europe’s most important, figures to on Japan’s autumn agenda after he scored a half-length win over Slalom on Sunday.

John Size clinched his 11th training title with two wins on Sunday’s 11-race program at Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong, the final day of that circuit’s 2018-19 season.

Size ended the season with 78 wins and won the training title for the third consecutive year. Size, 65, finished three wins clear of 69-year-old John Moore, who has won seven training titles and is the all-time leader in Hong Kong with 1,678 wins.
