Winning horse | Sea the Stars |
The winner was Sea the Stars, a three-year-old colt trained in Ireland by John Oxx. The winning jockey was Michael Kinane.[2]
Sea the Stars became the first horse to win the 2,000 Guineas, the Epsom Derby and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. It was his sixth consecutive Group 1 victory.
Set Sail and... Grand Ducal, there about five in front now of Stacelita, he's getting up on the inside of Sea the Stars, he's got six or seven lengths to make up, he'll have to be a champion. Stacelita races into the lead now, 2 in front, he is a champion I reckon, he's got the run though in the center, he's out after the leader, he picks up Stacelita, he powers clear! Sea the Stars racing away perfection in equine form, a horse of a lifetime he's just going to go on and win the arc by two lengths!
