- Front-running Ghaiyyath takes Group One race by two lengths
- Mishriff wins Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly
Enable was beaten for the second race in a row and only the third time in her career in the Group One Eclipse Stakes here on Sunday, when she finished just over two lengths behind the frontrunning Ghaiyyath without ever looking likely to reel him in. Enable remains the clear favourite for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes later this month, however, with John Gosden, her trainer, insisting that she will be fitter and sharper at Ascot with her six-year-old debut behind her.
Ghaiyyath was many lengths behind Enable in last year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe but the five-year-old has looked like both a stronger and more reliable performer in his two races so far this summer.
