I think what Enable has done is something extraordinary. 4 times running in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe! She can’t always win! Respect her journey and we truly appreciate prince Khalid Abdullah for keeping her in training till this day. Farewell Enable. Thanks for the memories.

Can we just take a moment to thank prince Khalid Abdullah for everything. He has left a lasting legacy that will be difficult to replicate. This man spent his whole life breeding racehorses and there’s no coincidence that he’s owned and bred the best horses in the world.
