STALLION PROFILE: SEA THE MOON
Sea The Moon is by Sea The Stars who was undefeated at 3YO. Sea The Moon is one of Sea The Stars’ first crop of foals being born in January 2011. His dam is Sanw, a daughter of Monsun. He was trained by Markus Klug, and bred and owned by Gestut Görlsdorf.
Sea The Moon was very lightly raced, only having 5 career starts. 4 of these he returned a winner with 3 of those wins being at Group level, The Frühjahrs Dreijährigen-Preis, Union-Rennen and Deutsches Derby which he won by 11 lengths. These wins culminated in him being Champion and German Horse of the Year in 2014.
"To summarize, here are the headlines of what SEA THE MOON has going for him. He’s a great individual. He’s by Sea The Stars. He’s out of a Monsun full sister to three Classic winners from one of the top families in Germany. He was a star racehorse. And he’s exceptionally fertile. It’s an impressive CV." Bill Oppenheim
He retired from racing to stand at Lanwades Stud in Newmarket. He is the sire of 52 Individual Stakes Performers (15 Group winners) including, Fantastic Moon, Alpine Star and Highclere’s own Durston. He is also the Sire of 68 individual 2yo winners including 2 Champion 2yos and to top it off he is also the Leading European Sire.
Durston won the Caulfield Cup in 2022 but unfortunately sustained a tendon injury. He has already completed his rehabilitation and we look forward to seeing him run in 2024.
