Until I see Henry Cecil run Frankel in races over 1-1/4 and 1-1/2, I'll continue to consider STS a better horse. Maybe not faster than Frankel at a mile? But better over middle distances. That's not to say Frankel doesn't still have the potential to be this good if he's stepped up to middle distances next season? I don't know why Cecil wouldn't step Frankel up beyond a mile either? With that Galileo pedigree, he should be able to stay middle distances with little problem, IMO.

A really great horse, no doubting that. And this looks like is a really tough course. Along the back they are climbing a hill that would sort the squibs out from the real stayers. They quicken after that with a pacemaker, so there's no breather. Then there is that long searching run run home. Fame and Fortune stuck on well behind the champion.

@hobnob1979 I don't think I've ever heard Des Scahill lose control of his voice like that! Pure magic :)

Set Sail reminds me of the American version which is Precious Passion :)

The commentary on all of Sea The Stars win's are just great,this and the Arc are my favourites.Great work :)

My god what a horse. Just so good he makes them look like donkeys... in a group 1 Champions stakes... barely even trying. Doubt I'll ever see anything this good again in my lifetime.

thankfully i can say i was there that day and saw him at the curragh as a two year old and went to york to see him win the juddmonte also. wow, some machine, definitely the greatest i've ever seen by miles. could talk about this horse forever.

Thanks for posting this race. I LOVE this horse, Sea The Stars, he's amazing., I had hoped he'd come to the US last year. He would have defeated our best horses and at the same time demonstrated conclusively that horses do NOT need Lasix/Salix or other drugs currently permitted under US racing rules.. Don't get me wrong - I love Zenyatta and am confident she would be the champion she is today without Lasix. But I REALLY want to see Lasix banned.
I love the way the commentator's voice gets so excited in the final 2 furlongs!
