    Agree Frenchy, I said half way through, Raabihah isn’t winning from here on this ground, she’s ran a cracker still. You can see why Rouget has raved about her after this run, she’s got the engine there. I presume they’ll keep her in training no doubt + she’s the one to take from a poor renewal.

    Why do you think Maxime took a pull early on? That was a crazy decision no? Teaching Her? Prioritising Sottsass?

    I just can’t believe they thought, or Maxime thought that was the best move to make in that race on that ground. I think they knew she wasn’t going to win on that ground from the beginning and did one of those two scenarios.

    Can’t wait to back her next year though!

    Not surprised Sottsass is being retired!
    Winning a substandard Arc isn’t going to make him the first choice for breeders unless priced cheap possibly with NFNF concession for those willing to support the horse at stud.
    Running for the paddocks was probably a wise choice for connections as personally think continuing to run him is more likely than not to dent his reputation devaluing the stud potential.
    Hope Enable’s retired as I don’t see how her reputation can be enhanced further?
    Well done the winners.
    good luck to all

    Well as you all know Enable has been retired and Kingman will be her first suitor.

    She is the best mare this century, now Juddmonte have the best stallion and mare.

    Thank you Enable for all the memories. :rose:

    All comers, all ground, all beaten

    Wouldn’t have seen which way Zarkava went over any trip. In my opinion of course.

    I think your ” why kingman will rule he world ” thread might go on for a while. Only needs another 175 G1’s to go level with Galileo. That’s even if G never adds any more to the tally in the coming years.
