What the Nation is saying about Sea The Stars...

It will come as a shock to the US racegoers that the rest of the world rates five-year-old Goldikova as the best racing female in the world. She was rated in tie with Rip Van Winkle last year at 133 just below Sea The Stars at 136. Though she has won both her races in 2010, I suspect the handic...Read More
  • cugel the clever · Goldikova record is better than either Z or RA and right now, she is the best race mare in the world. Twelve for seventeen against the best international fields, including 6 wins agains Grade I males. She's the best. · 76 days ago
  • gardenesque1 · Goldikova is a talented turf miler. Rachel Alexandra is deadly at nine furlongs on conventional dirt. Zenyatta is untouchable on synthetic ground. They are all equally talented and should be celebrated for their diverse accomplishments. · 76 days ago
European Horse of the Year SEA THE STARS had been ranked the top Thoroughbred of 2009 by the panel of handicappers/racing secretaries affiliated with the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA), who recently compiled the annual publication of the World Thoroughbred Rankings, the o...Read More
So far this week, I have given you a look back at some great races of 2009 and a look ahead at some horses we are hoping from great things from in 2010. Today, I will present my list of the the top fourRead More
Mick Kinane, whose profile has never been higher thanks to his stunningly successful partnership with Cartier Award winner Sea The Stars, has followed that brilliant colt into retirement.Read More
Sea The Stars was named Cartier Horse of the Year and Cartier champion 3-year-old colt at the 2009 Cartier Racing Awards, which were presented at Claridge's Hotel in London Nov. 17.Read More
Sea The Stars, whose six group I wins this year include the Stanjames.com Two Thousand Guineas, the Investec Epsom Derby, and the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, is favored to win two prizes when the 2009 Cartier Racing Awards are announced Nov. 17.Read More
There is no way of telling what might have been in any given race had circumstances been different. And it would be seem audacious to say that Rip Van Winkle was the best horse in the Coral Eclipse Stakes (Eng-I), won by Sea the Stars, but a close look at the race reveals several reasons why that st...Read More
  • Rossington · I watched the replay of the Coral Eclipse Stakes. What the author of this article describe's did happen, but it happened rather early in the race. The bottom line is when both Sea The Stars and Rip Van Winkle were slugging it out down the stretch, Sea The Stars reached back and got a little more and suddenly accelerated just enough to clear Rip Van Winkle and win the race. But I will say that Rip Van Winkle looked just as equally impressive to Sea The Stars that day in that race. · 304 days ago
Sea The Stars, who was retired after a thrilling two-length victory over Youmzain in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-I) Oct. 4, will enter stud in 2010 at the Aga Khan's Gilltown Stud in Co. Kildare, Ireland.Read More
OK, the curtain is about to go up for the revival of “My Cup Runneth Under.” Most of the audience is disgruntled. The cast is not as strong as it should be; the stage is poorly constructed; the ensemble is too large with too many amateurs; the producer should have moved the show to a different venue...Read More
Are horse racing fans pessimists or optimists at heart? This year's Breeders' Cup offers a good litmus test. Racing's two biggest superstars, Rachel Alexandra and Sea the Stars, will not run in the Nov. 6-7 event at Santa Anita.I can already hear the glass-is-half-empty gang bemoaning the lack of s...Read More
As I mentioned in my blog about a month ago, I’m doing some side-blogging for the National Thoroughbred Racing Association leading up to the Breeders’ Cup, commenting on the European contenders...Read More
A sigh came out of me from some deep place today when I learned that the world's #1 racehorse, Ireland's Sea the Stars, will not be coming to the USA after all. He will not be running in the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita next month. Read More
Sea the Stars, winner of six Group 1 races this year (Epsom Derby, 2000 Guineas, Eclipse, Juddmonte, Irish Champion and Arc de Triomphe), has been retired to stud. Read More

  • Medlocke · This was one fantastic race horse. I hate that we won't get to see him perform in the B.C. Classic, but I completely understand his ownership making the decision they did. He's won all the biggest races on the European continent and really has nothing left to prove. Imagine what this colt is going to bring for a stud fee. I don't blame them, why keep racing and risk injury. They're smart to be retiring him at the top of his game. · 324 days ago
  • bernieblues · "Perfection in Equine Form, a Horse of a Lifetime..." I think what Jim McGrath said in the last 50 yards of the Arc play-by-play on BBC pretty much summarized this colt's accomplishments - and appropriately so. · 324 days ago
There is so much to discuss after the weekend's stakes extravaganza, but one race that likely had the most profound effect on the Breeders' Cup was the Goodwood Stakes (gr. I).Read More
  • Rossington · I say now or never for Zenyatta. If she had been entered in the Goodwood Stakes, Gitano Hernando or not, she could have won that race. There really wasn't much there to beat, imo. MTB who hasn't won a race since the Ky. Derby, Colonel John who runs well on the surface but is a bit overmatched in the Classic, Informed and Parading, whom neither have ran to par for some time now. So with Sea the Stars now retired, I say let Zenyatta run against the boys. Quality Road or Summer Bird are neither proven on the surface. Of the American entries, only Einstein may give her trouble. So let her run, so what if she finished 3rd to Rip Van Winkle and Midshipman. No shame in that. · 324 days ago
The Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships may have to endure another major defection of a 3 y.o. with uncommon ability. RACHEL ALEXANDRA has been shut down for the year…old news. After a dazzling Arc win, SEA THE STARS is more unlikely to ship to Santa Anita than his connections led the med...Read More
By the time these words reach your eyes, the biggest star in American racing will be settled back in her stall at Churchill Downs. Kentucky Oaks and Preakness winner Rachel Alexandra has been gearing down in the cool late summer/early autumn climate at Saratoga since her victory over older males in ...Read More
If Sea the Stars does not make the trip to California, which seems more likely than not, and joins Rachel Alexandra on the absentee list, it will create a void never before seen in the Breeders’ Cup. Read More

  • mshutty · And the BC organization has no one to blame but itself. Remember when we all had a collective moan when it was announced that the BC would be held at Santa Anita two consecutive years? Our disdain for this idea is justified. I agree wth mdracing...what do the connections of Rachel have to prove. The only risk to the HOY honors is running in the BC and getting beat. If you owned/trained Rachel, what would you do? · 331 days ago

Based on comments from trainer John Oxx, there seems little doubt that Sea the Stars, who ran his consecutive Group 1 win streak to six with a victory in Sunday’s Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp, will be retired to stud for the 2010 breeding season. ...Read More
Sea the Stars this weekend at the Arc, resulted in a massive loss for bookmakers, who made the horse about an even money chalk. He was in a 19 horse field, he was the best horse...Read More
