Enable will race on in 2019

John Gosden's daughter of Nathaniel created history in America earlier this month when becoming the first horse to win an Arc and a Breeders' Cup Turf.

And if she can manage to win a third Arc in Paris next October, a feat no other horse has achieved, she will confirm herself as an all-time racing great.

There had been fears that the seven-time Group 1 winner could be retired to stud after her latest top-flight victory.

But owner Khalid Abdullah's racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe confirmed the exciting news that she will race on in 2019.

Grimthorpe said: "Prince Khalid is pleased to announce that Enable will stay in training for the 2019 racing season.

"No racing schedule has been set, but it will feature the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe as a prime target."

Enable is one of eight horses to have won the Arc twice, with Treve the most recent to attempt a hat-trick.

She came up short when finishing fourth behind Golden Horn in 2015.
