She's a clear winner for her category- lucky for her, missing all of our American drama. Her little two year old brother Ocean Seven, by Green Tune, just won a race too.<br /><br />Sea The Star's should have a good shot in the Aga Khan's superb breeding program. STS's two year old 'nephew' Burj Nahar - Sharmadal x STS's 1/2 sister Melikah- just won his debut by 3 1/2 lengths. STS's 'cousin' two year old Tertiary - Singspiel x Urban Sea's 1/2 sister Allez Les Trois- also won, or came very close to, recently as well. It has been suggested that Zenyatta visit him while she is free of a foal at her side. I approve, she can make it o her way back from running in the Dubai World Cup [dreaming of course]<br /><br />Conduit was a real trooper this year, nice to see him with a big win to launch his stud career in Japan.<br /><br />Europe is a whole other world of racing to enjoy. But when they visit us, I root for the home team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-63974623328590827402009-11-18T15:22:18.286-06:002009-11-18T15:22:18.286-06:00Well at least Europe knows how to pick champions, ...Well at least Europe knows how to pick champions, there picks were pretty much right on. STS deserved his award, so did other like Yeats and Goldikova.
