• Trainer André Fabre triumphs with 16-1 shot
“It’s not quite what we’d hoped, but how can we complain?” Teddy Grimthorpe said after the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe here on Sunday, succinctly summing up the mood after Enable came up short in her attempt to win Europe’s most prestigious Flat race for a record third time.
Thousands of travelling fans cheered as Enable and Frankie Dettori trotted out onto the track and did so again as she returned 20 minutes later, but only as she was led into the runner-up’s position after finishing nearly two lengths behind André Fabre’s Waldgeist.
