IT’S a moot point, but if you were to run the race tomorrow – hypothetically, of course, assuming that both horses were race fit and raring to go, ignoring the fact that Enable is on her holidays and that Cracksman ran his lungs out just a week ago – over a mile and a quarter or even a mile and a half, on good ground at, say, Ascot or Chantilly or York, where both have won, in receipt of the fillies’ allowance: Enable.

But if you were to run the race at Longchamp next October over a mile and a half on goodish ground – and you just might – under the gaze of Longchamp’s new stand, then, given his potential for progression, and even conceding the fillies’ allowance: Cracksman.
