Talking Horses: Enable will have an unfair advantage in the King George


The high-class filly will start a hot favourite but carry 3lb less than the colts in Saturday’s race at Ascot

Enable is one of those horses who’s so good, you try to tell your non-racing friends about her. But if your friends can read a racecard, the conversation may take a tricky turn.

“Hang on. She’s carrying less weight than most of the other runners.”

“Uh, yeah.”

“But you said she was good. Is she not as good as these other ones?”
