See The Stars was awesome, rarely spectacular but always got the job done,brilliant


His Arc win was pretty spectacular given the hole he had to punch out of?

That Denman clip reminded me of this fella

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhoUMfC2s-U&feature=related[/youtube]

Never had much interest in horse racing but a friend was a huge SeaTheStars fan and backed him every single outing. He sat me thru various youtube clips and you could"nt but be impressed.


One in a lifetime racehorse - just look at the quality types he beat in his races who went on to win multiple group 1"s all over the world

I"m sure Would also love to see Kauto is an absolute certainty to take his 5th King George but has to be Long Run again, even after their Haydock reversal.  ;D

Was convinced I was getting 4/4 2nd places. But what a run from kauto with an exhibition of jumping. Great ride from Ruby too, who just kept the pressure on SWC.

Would rate that as one of my favourite racing moments (top 5 easily)

Just catching up with this - outstanding performance took them on early jumped like a stag and stayed on up the run in

Won on merit - perhaps the best of his 5 victories

Binocular and rock on ruby were both tough in the Christmas hurdle - overturn got them at it early and they both finished the race well

However not sure if it was champion hurdle form - hurricane fly misses the istabraq hurdle tomorrow and surely must be doubtful to make it to Cheltenham in march

On the look out for a bigger priced outsider...
