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.”

Sun Chariot Next for Quadrilateral

Juddmonte’s juvenile Group 1 winner Quadrilateral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) will appear next in the Oct. 3 G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket. A winner of the G1 bet365 Fillies’ Mile at Ascot last fall, Quadrilateral has not found the winner’s circle this season, but finished third in both the June 7 G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and fourth in the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot later that month. She was last seen in action running fourth in the G3 Atalanta S. at Sandown on Aug. 23.

“The only race for her at this stage is the Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket,” said Roger Charlton. “If she is well we will be heading there. I thought she needed the race at Sandown, because she had her setback and she just blew up.”

Logician Downs Lone Rival In Doncaster Return

Last term’s unbeaten G1 St Leger hero Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}), under wraps following a bout of peritonitis, maintained his perfect record in Thursday’s 10-furlong Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Conditions S. back at the scene of that Classic triumph in his first start since.

1st-Doncaster, £20,000, Cond, 9-10, 3yo/up, 10f 43yT, 2:10.36, gd.
LOGICIAN (GB) (c, 4, Frankel {GB}–Scuffle {GB} {SP-Eng}, by Daylami {Ire}) was under wraps after a storied case of peritonitis and went postward as the prohibitively priced 1-12 favourite facing just one rival, last year’s G2 Zabeel Mile victress Mythical Magic (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}), in this eagerly awaited return. He stepped into an immediate lead, racing under a firm hold through the early stages, but was headed briefly soon after straightening for home. Nudged back in front approaching the quarter-mile marker, the hitherto undefeated grey turned the contest into an exercise canter thereafter and powered clear following the same stands’ side route as last year before gearing down for an easy seven-length score. “It was a nice, proper stretch and he’s finished very well and comfortable under hands and heels,” said winning trainer John Gosden. “This horse had two months in intensive care and I can have nothing but praise for the veterinarians at the Newmarket Equine Clinic for saving his life, twice, so that he can be here today. It’s been a long road and we’re very pleased to see him back. There’ll be no immediate plans, he’s well entered in the autumn, but I’d like to see how he is in the next 10 days before even thinking about another race. Just to get him back here is extraordinary in itself. We couldn’t be more pleased at this stage, but I don’t want to commit to anything now. We’re on the cusp of the autumn if we want to run again this year, but the horse will tell us. We know a mile-and-a-half is spot-on for him so, next year, he’ll have races like the King George as an absolute target.” One of five winners from as many runners produced by Listed Snowdrop Fillies’ S. third Scuffle (GB) (Daylami {Ire}), Logician is a full-brother to the stakes-winning Collide (GB) and a weanling colt. He is also kin to MGSW GI E.P. Taylor S. runner-up Suffused (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}), Listed October S. placegetter Battlement (GB) (Dansili {GB}), the once-raced 2-year-old filly Monsoon Moon (GB) (Kingman {GB}), who shaped with a deal of promise when third in an Ascot novice heat last week, and a yearling colt by Time Test (GB). Scuffle is herself a daughter of MSW G3 Supreme S. third Tantina (Distant View) and thus a half-sister to G1SW sire Cityscape (GB) (Selkirk) and G2 Temple S. victor and MG1SP sire Bated Breath (GB) (Dansili {GB}). Lifetime Record: Hwt. 3yo-Eng at 14f+ & G1SW-Eng, 6-6-0-0, $656,003. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
