From Frankel to Enable: A tale of two superstars of the turf

Seven years ago, a horse sporting the famous green, pink, and white silks of Khalid Abdullah rocked up at York for the penultimate start of a flawless career. On an afternoon laced with emotion, Frankel won the Abdullah-sponsored Juddmonte Stakes by seven lengths to stretch his winning sequence to 13.

Tomorrow, seven years to the day, another horse sporting the same green, pink, and white silks will make the same trip for what will almost certainly be the penultimate start of a near flawless career. Symmetry doesn’t come any neater.
