SEA The Stars hardly needs to be celebrated as the sire of the week, but that he is thanks to some great results on the racecourse and one in the sale ring. The magnificent son of Cape Cross (Green Desert) will officially turn 20 on January 1st next.

He has completed his sixteenth season at Gilltown Stud, his home since he transferred from John Oxx’s Currabeg Stables after a stellar career that saw him win eight races in succession after a debut that promised much.
