Enable is one of John Gosden’s magnificent mares, trained and ideally prepped to run races such as the Thoroughbred contest. No horse comes close to this beauty, in all European races.
Stradivarius
Stradivarius is another star many races desire to have. Hailing from the Newmarket stables of Gosden, Stradivarius is a five-year-old mare owned by breeder Bjorn Nielen. He is famous for running and winning all races in stayer events. He is very similar to Enable, who always has his competition running scared at the mention of his name. In the British Isles, Stradivarius holds the gold standard for all cup horses, with wins such as the Lonsdale and Yorkshire cups under his belt or saddle.
