Stradivarious and Sea the Stars

What an amazing stallion Sea the Stars is turning out to be and you have to do a double take knowing he is a half brother to the mighty Galileo. Urban Sea certainly brings them up tough and talented. What a mum she is.  

• Stradivarius -- The amazing wins of Sradivarius in the Yorkshire Cup, Ascot Gold Cup and Goodwood Cup set him up for the big payday. He may not have been at his best for the Lonsdale Cup at York but his toughness secured victory and the £1 million bonus for the team. After the race Frankie said "“He laboured today. He’s had a very hard season. Sometimes it can take its toll. His class and his courage got him through, he got the the job done." The four year old Sea the Stars gelding is all warrior and owner Bjorn Nielsen is planning another assault at next years bonus. The runner up Count Octave, and trainer Andrew Balding is likely to head down under for the Melbourne Cup.

£1million bonus ✔️

• Lah Ti Da --Frankie Dettori was on the promising Lah Ti Dar, daughter of Dubawi in the Galtres Stakes at York and she blitzed her lowly rivals by a huge margin of ten lengths. It was her first start in more than three months . Frankie believes she would be capable of winning a St Leger later this season.

• Sea of Class --  Last month's success in the Irish Oaks by Sea of Class and now an effortless win in the Group One Yorkshire Oaks at York sees the Sea the Stars filly at the head of the betting for the Prix de l’Arc De Triomphe . She now joins last year’s winner, Enable on the 5/1 line .The late developing, William Haggas filly could well go to Longchamp without another race. Sea The Stars, himself  won the 2,000 Guineas, Derby and Arc. 

Some sire Sea The Stars, it looks like he just bred a Champion Hurdle winner there with Stradivarius
