Sea The Stars: Legendary Status Already, Retires


Sea The Stars (Cape Cross) was retired on Tuesday October 13, dashing all hopes the Americans had of seeing the Euro star run in the Breeders' Cup Classic.


The 3-year-old, out of the great Urban Sea was a possible for America's richest race after his dominating performance in the $5,828,400 Arc de Triomphe on Oct 4. Had Sea The Stars been entered in the BC Classic on November 7, he would have carried a 26.3 System number in with him. You can compare that to last year's favorite, Curlin (19.4), and eventual winner Raven's Pass (20.4). The 3-year-old's number is the highest System number in recent memory.

Sea The Stars' siblings include the great Galileo, My Typhoon, Black Sam Bellamy and All Too Beautiful.
