STAR three-year-old fillies Winter (148) and Enable (128) head the standings for the 2017 Cartier Racing Awards following their Group 1 victories at Goodwood and Ascot respectively.
Winter got her fourth consecutive Group 1 victory of the season in the Qatar Nassau Stakes at Goodwood.
The dual classic-winning Galileo filly heads the standings for both the Cartier Horse of The Year and Cartier Three-Year-Old Filly categories.
Hot on the heels of Winter, in both categories, is Enable with wins in the Epsom and Irish Oaks before an overwhelming victory against all-aged opposition in the Group 1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.
Godolphin’s Ribchester (110) heads the Cartier Older Horse category. Godolphin also owns Barney Roy (104), the current leader in the Cartier Three-Year-Old Colt category ahead of Churchill (80).
