Should fillies really be getting a stone allowance? I get the 3 year old allowance but see no reason for the additional advantage.

The King George is one of the "win and your in" races for the Breeders Cup Turf, so Enable already has her spot in the field automatically sewn up should connections decide to take her to Del Mar in November? But here's my question, we've still yet to ever see an Arc winner win the BC Turf in the same year, although how Golden Horn ever failed to do it is still beyond me, but I wonder, could Enable be the one to finally get it done?

John Gosden is not one of those trainers like Aidan O'Brien that every time one of his horses puts up a big performance at G1 level that horse immediate becomes the best he's ever trained. O'Brien especially has made a habit of making that comment far too often over the years. First Camelot was the best he'd ever trained. Then it became Australia, etc.......That said, John Gosden did make the comment post-race that Enable is the best filly he's every trained, which really was a mouthful considering he's trained to the likes of Dar Re Mi to multiple G1 wins and a win in the Dubai Sheema Classic and Taghrooda who was also an Investec Oaks and King George winner.

If they race in America at the Breeders Cup where the pace will be more honest & the ground a little firmer Highland Reel will beat all of these. The pace was a bit too soft today.

Pero que soñadores, que creidos y que locases son los Argentinos inscribiendo a ese caballo contra estos trenes, por dios parecia un burro corriendo contra caballos de verdad, llegó pegando brincos en el último, que verguenza..

Have become enthralled with turf races across the pond - so terribly exciting. Ascot was just wonderful this year. Happy to see Frankie in the saddle & true to his form again; what a fabulous horse in Enable. Now, if we could only get decent TV coverage stateside. Great racing!

From Scotland,this was the BET OF THE YEAR,a class filly getting a stone in a Group 1.
She will get the same in the Arc like Treve did in her first win.I have the 12/1 double.Bring it on!
