In a compelling renewal of the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes (G1) at Ascot, Enable battled with CRYSTAL OCEAN (GB) [127] and ultimately defeated that foe by a neck. However, Crystal Ocean was carrying 3lbs more than Enable in the race, thus retaining his higher rating. WALDGEIST (GB) [124] finished third, two lengths behind, and improved his rating from 122 to 124.
