Enable dazzles again to see off Magical in the Yorkshire Oaks

Enable continued her winning streak with another brilliant performance in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York.

Quickly out of the stalls on the final start of her career in Britain, the John Gosden-trained mare repeated her victory in this race from 2017 in emphatic fashion.

Frankie Dettori was comfortable at the head of affairs when he asked the Khalid Abdullah-owned five-year-old for her effort in the straight, and saw off old adversary Magical after the very briefest of tussles to win by two and three-quarter lengths.

Enable (1-4 favourite) will now attempt to lift the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe for an unprecedented third successive year at ParisLongchamp in October.

After her latest success, Dettori was tearful as he struggled to get his words out in tribute.

He had positioned Enable at the head of the four-strong field from the outset - and although Magical closed to within a length two furlongs from home, the 1-4 favourite surged clear again to win her 10th Group One.

She was also beating Magical for the fourth time.

Dettori told ITV1: "It's the last day she's running in England, so it's special.

"I'm emotional. She's fantastic."
