Frankie Dettori rides filly to back-to-back victories in the famous race at Longchamp. Trainer John Gosden suggests aim is now to become the first horse to win race three times. LONDON: John Gosden said Enable could take on the challenge of trying to become the first horse to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe three times after watching the Saudi Arabian-owned filly made it back-to-back victories in the famous race. The favorite, trained by Gosden and owned by Prince Khalid Abdullah, was run close by Sea Of Class at Longchamp, but hung on to become only the eighth horse in history to win the Arc twice. Sea Of Class was some way off the leaders in the home turn but picked up pace to push Enable to the line, but Frankie Dettori’s mount won by a neck in a thrilling finish. No sooner had she made history than her trainer suggested the plan was to go for an unprecedented hat-trick. “It’s great for Prince Khalid. He wanted to come here and if she’s in good form there’s no reason you wouldn’t try to come again “It’s not been the preparation we wanted, it’s been very difficult. I actually had a hiccup between Kempton and here with a slight temperature, so it has not been easy. “She wasn’t at her best today. I’ve had a difficult year with her and started with a bit more hair than I have now. It’s entirely down to the filly and her guts. “The ground is a little slick — I’d liked to have seen more rain — but she’s got the job done and it’s very much down to her mind and ability. She’s a wonderful filly and it’s an enormous sense of relief.”
