Moving back to STS, I heard he smashed the track record yesterday, and yet both Mick (Kinane) and John Oxx commented after the race that the pacemakers for Ballydoyle didn't go quick enough for him. He appears to be a freak, an absolute superstar. Which brings me onto the question...... is there anything in the world that can beat him this year?

I think it would be very hard for Sea The Stars to resist an effort in Europe's most prestigous race. Don't forget he's also out of Urban Sea a former Arc winner, pedigree should not be an issue. From what I have seen of him and that's only from whatever I can dig up on the net, he's certainly in the class of High Chapparal and maybe even better. Time will tell, undefeated Stacelita is an exciting prospect and would it really be a surprise if she can reproduce what Zarkava did? It wouldn't surprise me.
