Juddmonte Farms has announced its 2022 breeding plans, utilizing over 30 different stallions, with the home roster getting its usual strong support. Champion mare Enable  will see Dubawi , along with her half sister Entitle  and dam Concentric . Enable became a force to reckon at the beginning of her career at 3 with a win in the Investec Oaks (G1), Darley Irish Oaks (G1), King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1), Darley Yorkshire Oaks (G1), and Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (G1).

She came back at 4 to capture the 188bet September Stakes (G3), Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and Longines Breeders' Cup Turf (G1T) on American soil. The following year she added a win in the Coral-Eclipse (G1), QIPCO King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Darley Yorkshire Oaks, and a close second in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe to her résumé.

At 6, she ran second-best in the Coral-Eclipse (G1) and had a win in both the QIPCO King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Unibet September Stakes (G3). Enable closed out her career with a remarkable $14,062,824 in earnings and a record of 19 starts at 15-2-1.
