Enable wins the Arc De Triomphe

Enable -- Pedigree by Andrew Caulfield . A winner of the Oaks, Irish Oaks and the King George by a combined total of 15 lengths, Enable is bound to become the poster girl for inbreeding to Sadler’s Wells, as she is inbred 3 x 2 to this great stallion.If ever there was a stallion worthy of close inbreeding, it was surely Sadler’s Wells. Not only did he top the Anglo-Irish stallion table 14 times in the space of 15 years, but he was also champion sire of 2-year-olds on three occasions. His brother Fairy King went one better, with four titles. Sadler’s Wells’s progeny have since been busily extending his influence. His magnificent son Galileo already appears to have his ninth sires’ championship wrapped up and Sadler’s Wells’s broodmare daughters once racked up seven consecutive titles between 2005 and 2011, with Enable making another broodmare sire championship a distinct possibility this year. She is out of Concentric, a Sadler’s Wells mare who earned a Timeform rating of 107 as a 3-year-old, thanks to three wins and a Group 3 second from five starts.

Fairy King -- Australian connection with his champion stallion son, Encosta De Lago . His champion grandson, Chautauqua takes on the best sprinters in Australia in the 10 million dollar Everest on Saturday. Encosta has sired so many epic sprinters including Hong Kong's champion, Sacred Kingdom and the amazing filly, Alinghi but its with his stallion sons he is leaving his mark and She Will Reign is Chautuaqua's enemy on saturday. The filly is by Encosta's son, Manhattan Rain. Northern Meteor is another son producing many winners on Australian racetracks.
