What is the September Stakes? 

The September Stakes is a Group 3 race run at Kempton Park and is open to horses aged three years or older. Run over a distance just shy of 1m 4f, the September Stakes has often been a race targeted by trainers that are looking to bag big prizes in the latter stages of the season. Although it holds its own stature, the September Stakes has occasionally been used as a trial for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and in 2018 the John Gosden-trained Enable eased to victory before going to land the Arc in France.

First held in 1979, the race was always run on the turf, but since Kempton put in their all-weather track since 2006 the race has been run on the Polytrack, thus adding a new dimension to the race. However, some smart performers have excelled on the all-weather and in 2015 Derby runner-up Jack Hobbs impressed when landing the spoils for Godolphin, but Enable's win in 2018 will be the most prestigious, as she sauntered to success to enhance the reputation of the race.

What happened in the 2020 September Stakes?

Sent off the red-hot 1/14 favourite, Enable made light work of her rivals in the September Stakes, as the dual Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine cruised to a seven-length victory and duly booked her place in the 2020 Arc, which will light up Longchamp next month. Having fluffed her lines at the start, Enable quickly got to the front and Frankie Dettori didn't have to get out of second gear at all as she eventually went on to beat Kirstenbosch and Prince Of Arran, who finished second and third, respectively.
