2 interesting reads on Sea The Stars
from Nick Mordin
http://www.nickmordin.com/france.htm

One quote which I certainly agree with is "The connections of top horses need to be encouraged to risk defeat for their charges without the prospect of torpedoing their stud value. If we reserve our highest praise for those that are fortunate enough to establish a long unbeaten streak we're doing a disservice to the sport. We're forcing many of the best horses to be retired early for fear of breaking their winning sequence and losing millions in stud value."
