That is quite impressive and certainly better than what Danedream, Pastorius or Novellist did during the same period of their 3yo-career.

Hopes are rising …. it was just the 4th race – and win – of STM.

I don’t think that was a great field though. Geoffrey Chaucer has been bitterly disappointing and doesn’t look anywhere near top class.

Good luck to the man who bagged 150/1 Sea The Moon, that was great foresight but to see a horse as 4/1 Fav in a place for The Arc De Triomphe on the back of a German Derby win looks suicidal to my eyes.

Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

Well, Lucky Lion can’t be a bad horse according to his previous performances and the stamina-doubts on him before the Derby. And then there is that 11-lengtht-victory in a mere canter after leading the race from the start and crossing the course the straight to the line. Even the time of the races is not bad under thess cercumstances.

That looks like a performance close to those of Australia. Let’s see, what the handicapper says this afternoon …

Of course, 4/1 for the Arc is rather shortpriced concidering that Damedream was around 25/1 on the day of that race.

Soumillon said just after the race: "

This is a horse well suited to even the most important French races

".

P.S. at 01:20 pm:
The handicapper gives STM a rating of 101,5 kg GAG = 123 lbs OR. This is the same rating as Australia got.

Reminds me a lot of Reference Point in both looks and conformation; if anything, Sea The Moon has a touch more toe about him than Cliveden Stud’s resolute galloper. Let’s hope that Sea The Moon enjoys a more productive trip to Paris than that of Henry Cecil’s great colt.

I’ve backed Sea the Moon at 150s for The Arc so hopeful of a big run.

MONSTER!
