He's a freak.
I was concerned yesterday, as I wasn't sure his stamina would hold up over the Arc distance when they usually go fast and you need ever ounce of stamina....... once again, they went fast, but not fast enough for him.
The racing post said they went 4 seconds faster than the standard time, and yet Sea The Stars was still pulling for his head. If they could find a group of horses that could go quick enough for him, he'd probably be even more impressive.
It's the fact that he travelled better than some sprinters in the Guineas, showed too much class in the Derby and has beaten every Gr1 class horse that Europe has to offer.
He beat a world class Eclipse field and that form has worked out very well.
Just brilliant.
