Phenomenal and brilliant were among the adjectives used to describe the finish between Enable and Sea Of Class at Longchamp, and racing figures believe the recent domination of fillies in the Arc is only good for the sport.

Enable’s second victory in the world-renowned race on Sunday means fillies have won seven of the last eight renewals, with Enable mirroring the achievement of Treve, who recorded back-to-back wins in 2013 and 2014.
