    She ain't done yet! Like STS, she only does what she has to; maybe a 3rd Arc win would finally convince those dullard handicappers they've under-rated her.

    That was quite a thrashing she gave Magical yesterday. I suspect Dettori’s Emotional response was a mixture of knowing he is close to the end of his career , that he will only ride her in a race once more and that her performance yesterday was more like the old electric Enable than the only doing just enough mare of the Eclipse and KG.

    Magical gave the same performance she always gives. Enable same. That both can do so consistently is a credit to them both. Crystal Ocean would have finished between them if on form and eligible to run. Off level weights I guess it would be interesting.

    She beat Magical much further yesterday than in both the BCT and the Eclipse.

    2 3/4l vs 3/4l. Crystal Ocean beat Magical 1.5l. All of which doesn't make Enable a great. There is an awful lot of bare form to look beyond to justify the regard Enable is held in. Doesn't stop her winning though.

    Over 12f around a proper racecourse She'll always beat Magical. You can bin the Eclipse form,and their respective ratings from that race on that basis alone..
    Enabled's been "overrated" since the year dot. Amazing how sfa has beaten her.

    One thing Enable has is the physique to be a chaser/ hunter.
    She has power whatever way you look at her so can take her racing better than most fillies.
    When like her they keep winning it is very hard not to over rate them!
    As J Gosden said she has rarely won at any racecourse twice bar York and Longchamps but all at top level.
    Ouija Board, Snow Fairy etc all had off days, even Dahlia, Allez France , Treve and co had days their femininity got in the way .
    Not Enable so far, but then none had her physique.

    Now rated best in the world at 128.
