Fantastic Dunno about Frankel but he could put it to his brother Galileo soon!!! it just shows what a top class broodmare
Urban Sea
was Maybe the best broodmare Ever?
That’s just what I was thinking. What a horse. It doesn’t seem all that long ago [well it wasn’t really] that I read on the memorials section of the forum that Urban Sea had passed on but that she had a three year old called Sea the Stars running in all the big races. That was the start of a very emotional time for me watching the great horse win his races, my biggest regret being not going to see him when he ran at York. I wasn’t the greatest fan of flat racing when Urban Sea was running but she was one that stood out even then [the others being Dayjur and Royal Academy, possibly because of their exploits Stateside].
Terrific high quality video of the whole race is on youtube
That Dubai Racing commentator is awful. I prefer the German version…. and I don’t speak that language!
Just another 300 odd group ones to go. Unlikely any stallion will get remotely close to galileos achievements. A lot to do with Galileo getting to mate with great mares but his record is just amazing. Still a few years left of his progeny strutting their stuff.
Sea The Stars needs to start producing a few G1 two-year-old winners (and more juvenile winners in general!) and show that consistent ability to upgrade mares before we start putting him anywhere near Galileo, Danehill or Sadlers Wells.
It’s a cracking start though. Well played STS.
Frankel is going to be interesting. He was described as ‘almost unmanageable’ as a juvenile and needed all of Henry Cecil’s expertise to become an unbeaten superstar. Hopefully he doesn’t produce too many headcases. That trait might make him a superb sire of sprinters and milers even so!
