Enable wins the King George
Quite simply the best female horse I have seen. Today things didn't go to plan but she overcame everything to score again in an absolutely thrilling race.

She's up there
I've seen many fantastic turf mares in over 50 years loving this sport.
Is Enable the best ever?
I doubt that, but she's definitely very special. 
It's a lot of fun to watch her pre-race.
She's really full of herself - watching everything around her - taking it all in.
Knows she's The Queen - at ease in her court.

That was a great race!
That's why we love this game.

She had every reason to get beat, but still won.
One of the very best we've seen in the last decade.

Enable now in my top 3 favourite flat horses since I got into racing 36 years ago. The other two Frankel and Dancing Brave. Amazingly all three carry the same colours.

I think she would dust Winx. Only in modern times could there be two outstanding race horses, who compete over the same distance, the same surface, yet never face each other over a number of years.

Euro G1 racing at it's best. That was beautiful.
Beating Crystal Ocean who Longines had as a 127 top horse in the world.
Twinspires had Opt In 2-1 offer on her which somebody told me about last night. I spammed it out to friends late night---was biting my nails there at the end.
What a gorgeous mare. Juddamonte sure can breed some beauties

How lucky are we to have seen 3 of the greatest mares ever in Enable, Zenyatta and Winx to race in our lifetimes?

What a nice horse! I was fortunate to see her at Churchill this past BC. I went down to the paddock early to make sure I would be able to get a good look at her.
Would love to see her win a 3rd Arc, retire, and make some little ones.

My guess is that is the plan.
It would be a tremendous feat.
Nothing to be gained by heading to BC Turf again.
She has pretty much done it all.
