Enable Pointing to Coronation Cup

[Wandering Eyes]

Dual G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) is pointing toward a start in the May 31 G1 Coronation Cup S. as her first port of call in 2019. The 5-year-old’s end-of-season goal is claiming her third consecutive Arc at ParisLongchamp in October and she was last seen in action winning the GI Breeders’ Cup Turf at Churchill Downs last November.

“She has started cantering again and you would be hopeful she would be running in something like the Coronation Cup,” trainer John Gosden said from his Newmarket base on Monday morning of the Juddmonte colourbearer. “There wouldn’t be any point starting her earlier. If you are trying to get to the Arc, you don’t want to be starting in the middle of April and there aren’t really the races for those older ones until later on in the year. She is in great order. She is even bigger and stronger again, so it is fingers crossed with her. She has enjoyed the winter and is loving her exercise. We are pointing towards the Coronation Cup, but it is all about gearing her towards the first weekend in October in Paris.”

Gosden also had an update on champion 2-year-old colt and G1SW Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who is targeting the Apr. 13 G3 Greenham S. at Newbury as his next intended appearance.

Gosden said, “He is training nicely and we are pleased with him. Frankie [Dettori] sat on him at the weekend, was very pleased with his development from two to three and we are building towards the Greenham with him. He is a bundle of energy. He really enjoys his exercise and is very playful. He is like a very hyperactive, ‘I want to get on with it’ kid. He is a guy with a lot of energy and I don’t want him to go and have to do a racecourse gallop, he would be much happier going down to Newbury, running over seven and just getting the cobwebs out the way.”
