Sea The Stars arrives home from Arc triumph Sea The Stars returned home to his Curraghbeg stables late last night. John Oxx said this afternoon: “He got home a little later than anticipated, it was after midnight, but he ate up all his feed and is in good form. "The race and journey have tired him. He will have a rider sit up on him tomorrow and we will canter him on Wednesday. He will be straight back in to the routine.” Regarding a tilt at the Breeders Cup Oxx said: “My instinct would be that it is late in the year and after six races in as many months it is probably a step too far, but we haven’t ruled it out. “He is an exceptional horse and was fresher yesterday than at any point in the season. He has gone a bit in his coat, but there is still plenty of racing in him. "There is an entry stage for America in two weeks and a decision will be made at that time. "The Breeders Cup was originally only a fall-back in case the ground came up soft in France, but I would have no fears about the surface there. He has plenty of Polytrack experience on the Curragh and I think he would love the surface and bounce off it." Oxx went on to compare Sea The Stars with all the great winners of the Arc and said: “Mill Reef and Dancing Brave are the two who closest mirror his record as a three-year-old, but both got beaten in one race. At the end of the day nobody knows which one was the best. “After 300 years of selective breeding of thoroughbreds Sea The Stars is the ultimate that can be produced by a breeder. He has a great pedigree and temperament and looks. "As a physical specimen he is the Usain Bolt of the equine world. You couldn’t hope to breed a better horse. In my opinion it is temperament that separates the good horses from the great horses."
