THE AGA KHAN STUDS Success Breeds Success SEA THE STARS His fi rst two year olds in 2013 PAT SPREAD From the moment he started racing in Ireland, to his final victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Sea The Stars’ record was a model of excellence and consistency. He rose through the ranks to win a Group 2 as a juvenile and six Group 1s at three with the regularity of a metronome. He showed unparalleled versatility to handle the Irish plains, the Rowley Mile and Sandown Park; the undulating Epsom Downs, the Knavesmire at York and the unique test that is Longchamp. Three years after being retired to Gilltown Stud, this same notion of consistency springs to mind when speaking of his first progeny’s character and their attitude to work: “even-tempered”, “fast learners” and “easy movers” are recurrent phrases used by their trainers and there is great anticipation in the bloodstock world as to how Sea The Stars’ impeccable track record will be replicated by his progeny. You will find details of the stallion’s first generation of two year-olds in the pages that follow. We thank all the breeders who have sent him some of their finest mares in the last three seasons. We look forward to working with you again this season and wish you great success in the years to come – at stud, at the sales and on the racecourse.
