Do you think Sea the Stars should go for the St. Leger?

He's won two legs of the English Triple Crown. His owners have said they intend to bypass the St. Leger, and I think most pedigree pundits would agree that he's not bred for the 1 mile 6 furlongs and 132 yards distance of the St. Leger.

But the chance to become the first English Triple Crown winner since Nijinsky II!!!!! Granted, the St. Leger isn't a race that is considered important for stallion credentials nowadays, and there are other races to pursue, most notably the Arc de Triomphe in the fall, joining his mom Urban Sea on the roster of Arc winners.

Would you like to see him win the Triple Crown?

    Its sad but in Britain most breeders are looking for horses that can win at 1m-2f this seems to be the key distance as well as a 1m- 4f if you win races over further this is not Commercial enough most great stayers become NH stallions who's stud fees do not compare to the flat

    John Ox as good as said, he does`nt think he would get the extra distance. He`s a good judge.
