Gilltown Stud sire edges closer to 100 Stakes winners. In just 11 days, Sea The Stars has sired seven Stakes winners (including Gr.1 Lockinge Stakes hero Baaeed), and has been the broodmare sire of a further three.

After Ottoman Fleet became his sire’s 90th Stakes winner on 14th May, Sea The Stars has added three more Listed winners to his tally. The first was Godolphin homebred Sundoro, who won the Prix Urban Sea on 18th May by two-and-a-half lengths from the Aga Khan Studs’ Dolia. Then Sea Silk Road, bred by Kildaragh Stud and sporting the colours of Sunderland Holding, won the Height Of Fashion Stakes on 20th May, and the following day Third Realm was the six-length winner of the Tapster Stakes for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.

Sea The Stars is also the broodmare sire of Stakes-winning half-siblings My Astra and My Prospero (out of his Group winning daughter My Titania), who won the Listed Rothesay Stakes and Listed Heron Stakes on consecutive days last week, also for Sunderland Holding. In the USA on Saturday, Technical Analysis (out of dual winner Sealife) won the Gr.3 Gallorette Stakes at Pimlico, his third Graded Stakes victory.
