Enable Leads 22 in Latest Arc Forfeit Stage

Dual G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) will attempt to win her third Arc in the last four years, as she is one of 22 in the French showpiece after the latest forfeit stage announced on Monday. The Juddmonte mare is one of three in the race at this stage for John Gosden, with Bjorn Nielsen’s star stayer Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and fellow Juddmonte runner and undefeated 2019 G1 St Leger hero Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is also entered.

Irish maestro Aidan O’Brien has four entered so far for the Coolmore partners in outstanding dual Classic heroin Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), 2020 G1 Grand Prix de Paris hero Mogul (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), MG1SW Japan (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), and 2019 G1 Irish Derby winner Sovereign (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). This term’s G1 Derby victor Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is under consideration, but has yet to be supplemented.

Aidan’s son Joseph fields a quintet, among them MGSW Buckhurst (Ire) (Australia {GB}) and GSW Degraves (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) for Lloyd Williams, this season’s G3 Gallinule S. hero Crossfirehurricane (Kitten’s Joy) for Scott Heider and Healthy Wood Ltd.’s Group 3 winner New York Girl (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}).

Andre Fabre relegated Enable back into second in last year’s edition with Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), and he will send MG1SW Persian King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) this season, although it is the first time the Godolphin representative will be trying 2400 metres. Jean-Claude Rouget will saddle MG1SW Sottsass (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) for Peter Brant’s White Birch Farm and the progressive Shadwell filly Raabihah (Sea The Stars {Ire}), who won the G3 Prix de Psyche in August and was second in the G1 Prix Vermeille on Sept. 13.

G1 German Derby hero and Grand Prix de Paris third In Swoop (Ire) (Adlerflug {Ger}) represents Francis-Henri Graffard and Gestut Schlenderhan, while the third-place finisher that day, Gold Trip (Fr) (Outstrip {GB}), returns for Fabrice Chappet.

Japan is represented by G1 Nassau S. heroine Deirdre (Jpn) (Harbinger {GB}) and G1SW Way to Paris (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) steps forward for Andrew Marcialis and Paolo Ferrario. Two last out group winners, Telecaster (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) for Hughie Morrison and Chachnak (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) are also entered.

Peslier to Ride Stradivarius in the Arc

Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), best known for his staying heroics, will have Olivier Peslier aboard in the Oct. 4 G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. A MG1SW stayer, the John Gosden trainee normally partners with Frankie Dettori, but with that rider booked for a chance at immortality with two-time Arc heroine and stablemate Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), another jockey had to be found. Originally under consideration was Andrea Atzeni, who has found success with the chestnut in two editions of the G1 Goodwood Cup, but his obligations as the retained rider for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid at Newmarket the week after put paid to his eligibility due to the COVID-19 quarantine restrictions.

“It’s fantastic to pick up the ride–Stradivarius is a super horse,” said Peslier, who has won the Arc four times. “There are a lot of very good horses in the race, of course, but I think this week there is a lot of rain coming–and I don’t think it will be a problem for him. He is a stayer and a very famous horse.

“I have the experience and know the track well. I am very confident, and we need to fight for that [fifth Arc win].”

Enable in Good Form in Advance of Fourth Arc Appearance

Two-time G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) turned in another solid gallop in advance of appearing in her fourth consecutive Arc. Second last year, the John Gosden trainee resurfaced with a runner-up performance in the G1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown in July, but was back in the winner’s circle on July 25 when taking her third G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. The Juddmonte colourbearer’s historic third Arc bid comes on the heels of a dominating win in the G3 September S. over Kempton’s all-weather on Sept. 5.

“I rode Enable, she’s in good form, and I rode Palace Pier, so two champions,” jockey Frankie Dettori said during ITV Racing’s Opening Show. “That was probably one of her last main pieces of work and she’ll do one more next week before going to Paris. I’m happy. I’m not nervous–yet!

“She went over seven furlongs on the round gallop with her usual companion. She’s never been a flashy worker at home but her action his good, her mental strength is good and it’s all systems go. It’s weird that John may not be able to go this year because of the quarantine so it will be a little bit surreal but I’m sure we’ll talk about it.”

Added the Italian of his other frequent partner in high quality stayer Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) who is also pointing for the ParisLongchamp feature, “Don’t forget the Strad–he’s in good form. I’ve no idea who will ride him but he’s in good form and I think he’s slipped under the radar. I thought he travelled really well last time.

“Obviously I know Enable’s going to stud so I’m trying to enjoy it, I’m not going to stress. Arcs are not gimmes, you’ve got to take on the world and I think John has her the best she can be so we just need a bit of luck.”
