Enable to Skip York

[Wandering Eyes]

Juddmonte’s five-time Group 1 heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) will skip next week’s York meeting and instead will point to the G3 September S. over the synthetic at Kempton Park on Sept. 8. Out with a knee injury sustained in May, the 4-year-old will be making her first start since winning the G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe last October. A title defense of the ParisLongchamp feature, held on Oct. 7 this year, is the long-term goal for the John Gosden trainee.

“She will not go to York next week, and I would think she will go to Kempton,” said Teddy Grimthorpe, the racing manager for Prince Khalid Abdullah to France-Galop. “It was always going to be a big ask to get to York, but it would be silly to push her and we will give her one run before going to the Arc. She’ll need to have a run, but I would think that would set her up very nicely. She’s got to to keep on going the right way, but it looks a good starting point for her. A racecourse gallop is always a possibility, but we haven’t got there yet and there are a number of places we could go.”
