Enable - Andrew Pennington - Bog

Enable is a modern day racing heroine, a Queen of the Turf, and she has stirred the emotions of racing fans like few before her. She has won 11 Group Ones to date including the Epsom Oaks, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes three times, the Prix de l''Arc de Triomphe twice and the Breeders'' Cup Turf. She is partnered by Frankie Dettori, the world''s most famous jockey and she is his ''big girl'' and his favourite racehorse. His trademark flying dismounts seem to now be accompanied by tears and by the time of publication, she will have attempted a historic third ''Arc'' which Frankie wants to win ''for her'' and not himself. As well as looking at her close bond with ''Frankie'' the book looks at how Enable''s masterful trainer, John Gosden, managed her from the beginning and how her connections cherish her. Her full story is told through the lens of the Racing Post - its best writers, most astute analysts and unrivalled photographers.
