Sea The Stars Favourite for Verry Elleegant Mating

Part-owner Brae Sokolski confirmed that Sea the Stars (Cape Cross-Urban Sea, by Miswaki) is the favoured option for Verry Elleegant (Zed-Opulence, by Danroad), reports racing.com. "She'll be served to northern hemisphere time and while no final decision has been made on the stallion, Sea The Stars is probably the most likely suitor," Sokolski said. "Then we will decide whether to keep her there (Europe) and do it again or bring her back. It's unresolved at the moment." A half-brother to Coolmore Stud's deceased multiple champion stallion Galileo, Sea the Stars is the sire of 102 stakes winners including current season sensation Baaeed, Stradivarius, Emily Upjohn, and Gr1 Australian Cup winner Fifty Stars, and stands at the Aga Khan's Gilltown Stud in Ireland for €150,000. Verry Elleegant is inbred 3fx3m to Danehill, and the mating with Sea the Stars brings in another line of Danzig via Cape Cross' sire Green Desert.
