MICK KINANE, who partnered three Arc de Triomphe winners, praised Frankie Dettori and Enable after their spectacular success in Sunday’s Arc.
“She’s an exceptional filly,” said Kinane, pictured, who won on Carroll House (1989), Montjeu (1999) and Sea The Stars (2009).
“Also, it’s a great for Frankie to have a record five Arc wins on his CV.”
Guy Harwood, the trainer of Dancing Brave – considered one of the best Arc winners – was also blown away.
“It was a very impressive performance and I thought Frankie gave her a super ride,” said Harwood, who won the race 31 years ago.
“The filly helped him a lot in that she allowed him to restrain her, and she certainly helped him ® at the end of the race!
“Frankie has always been a very high-class jockey and still is.
“You need the horse, but you have to steer them in the right direction and he did that very well.
“It’s wonderful for Prince Khalid because he also owned Dancing Brave.” Sir Michael Stoute, who struck gold in 2010 with his Derby hero Workforce, said: “She’s a machine. I think she rates right up there with the best.” His runner on Sunday, Ulysses, was an honourable third and now goes to stud.
The John Gosdentrained Enable is expected to stay in training next year and her campaign will be geared to winning the Arc for the second time.
