John Gosden has simply got to be the best informative and most interesting person to listen to in all of horse racing

I have always been struck by Mr Gosden’s honesty. In a world increasingly overrun with big fat fibbers we’d all do well to listen to John Gosden to remind ourselves what an honest man sounds like. Humility and compassion and his genuine respect for horses were never more apparent than at Ascot in 2011 when Nathaniel won the Gold Cup. In that race the Goldolphin runner Rewilding broke down. Somehow the horse regained its composure and found its way to the finishing post in a very harrowing scene for everyone who was there. As Rewilding was settled, I remember that it was John Gosden who was there at the end comforting and feeding him “ a pick of grass”. And anyone who looks equally as dashing in a baseball cap, a beanie, a top hat or a trilby can only be described as having that all important quality - class. Many happy returns John.

I adore Enable! It would be fantastic if she won on Sunday but if she doesn't, never mind. That mare owes no one anything and she's been an absolute pleasure to have around. ❤️

Good luck to Enable and Frankie. Give us all something to smile for in these dark times. Horse racing is a pulsating sport and horses run there hearts out. You can do it girl.

I've bet against her but I really hope she wins. All true racing fans will be rooting for her. She's the horse of our generation, the best since Frankel, and to witness history is something we can all be proud of. Let's pray she delivers 🙏😊🐴🥇

John Gosden is the best race horse trainer in the world, no doubt about that. Enable is now six, the ground looks against her, but if she wins it will be the best days racing ever. Go beautiful girl, you deserve immortality.

Totally agree about Gosden, he isn't just a good trainer, he speaks very well and is a brilliant student of form. At no time would he underestimate the opposition, he tries to plan for every occurence, brilliant trainer. I think Enable has been a brilliant racemare, one of the very best ever. I know I'm in a minority, but I'm not a big fan of Dettori so slightly mixed emotions, but she's still a brilliant horse at her best.

Saw her at York last year thinking it was last UK race, such an emotional day. People were crying because they would never see her race again. I really hope she wins on Sunday so that she can retire with grace as the best filly/mare ever!

Must be the.most honest Trainer I heard in this Day and Age !

John Gosden replaced Sir Henry Cecil as my favourite trainer, and this brilliant video shows why. Erudite, self-deprecating, witty, just like a father talking about his daughter. And his views on Frankie Dettori's involvement are priceless. Even if she is beaten, she owes nothing, but we should have enormous respect for Enable and her connections. I hope, someday, they erect a statue of her somewhere. She deserves it.

John Gosden is a man of integrity, he is always worth listening to unlike some trainers.

Two weeks have passed since the Arc...so we all know that we didn't get the Fairy Tale ending we all would have loved. Suffice to say we have now seen the end of one of the most brilliant racing careers. Certainly in our lifetimes !! Although the Lady was well beaten she did not disgrace herself. Even in this strange 2020 she pulled out that Big Win in The King George and her legacy is there now for all to see. I've been watching racing since Piggott's third Derby on St Paddy in 1960, and of course racing coverage is a million miles away from those days (although we did have Peter O'Sullevan) but this interview is the best I have ever seen. The Masterful John Gosden has got it all, and if there was ever a "Chance to dine with anybody you like" competition He would be 1st 2nd and 3rd on my list !!

interesting. i like him explaint stuff the training

Gosden beautiful story teller

Gutted she couldn't get the the win this time round !!! But I have to mention the fantastic sportsman ship by the owner Prince Khalid Abdullah, the ground was like a cow field and she could never perform at her best on that ground ! But her ran her anyway for the people to see and I like to think for the romance of maybe seeing her win again ?? I will miss watching her race but know she will he treated like a Queen ft the rest of her life ✌

Always hear her getting retired, glad she still runs! They retire horses too early nowadays

Brilliant Enable. Extreme going made the 2020 Arc a no race for her. Great shame she went out like that, but all credit to Prince Khalid Abdullah for treating all Enable"s fans to this final year.

The greatest trainer of all time, if he's not he is certainly in the top ten of all time, I know racing is all a Scam but if John Gosden had a horse in training and he told me the horse is going to win I'd put my life savings on it that's how much belief I have in the man

🙏🏻

Now no O'Brien horse running, this is a very substandard race.

One Horse Race. Enable. 🏇 Congrats to Frankie in advance. ✌🏻

🤩💗

Didn't think he seemed too confident

Hope she goes to frankel. Same owner.. let's go..

Soft to heavy ground is being forecast for Sunday at Longchamp which will suit Enable right down to the ground. She's always shown she can be hard as lard when it comes to running in a bog. Take into consideration also that the two horses which looked like they could potentially be the biggest threat to Enable will not be in the field, which were Godolphin's Ghaiyyath and Coolmore's star filly Love. I think the race is now Enable's to win or lose breaking from stall #5. The rest of the 3YO in the race would all have to improve by a street on their form to date to beat an at her best Enable, so if I had to point to who I think could be the biggest danger to her left in the field now I would look no further than her stablemate Stradivarius. He's most definitely been at his best over staying distances, and while some think 12F may be too sharp for him, he's always shown a pretty killer late turn of foot in his own right, at times looking more like a 6F sprinter than a stayer in the closing stages. So if the plodders on the front end setting the pace should misjudge the fractions and get the field all strung out, it's definitely possible Stradivarius could pick up the late pieces and pull a surprise with Olivier Peslier in the plate. If I had to take a shout at a long shot in the field I would probably go e/w on Persian King. The horse just doesn't seem to ever run bad races, and while the distance is still an unknown for him, having yet to race beyond the 10-1/2F/2100m in his Prix Du Jockey Club 2nd, he did get that trip and was just run down in the final 200 yards by the very talented and capable Sottsass. Coupled with the fact that I don't believe a master trainer like Andre Fabre would run him in the Arc just for shits and giggles unless he really thought Persian King was capable of seeing out the 12F Arc trip.

All sentiment aside the chances of Enable winning he Arc this weekend are slim and none, and slim has left town already. Her age is a negative but it will be ground the race is run over that will be her achilles heel. Enable simply cannot run her best of soft turf course and that is born out by her previous races on this type of track.

Very disappointing What a race this could have been if several things had gone differently. Enable, Logician, Ghaiyaath, Magical, Love, Stradivarius even Almond Eye all racing on good ground What a race!

Last years excuse was ground was against her, waldergeist beat her easily, gosden states she was in great form , etc etc, so why does anyone think she can win it this year, worst ground , a year older. Sottass wins this
