Pune: Pesi Shroff-trained Sea The Dream prevailed in the 1800m Fourth Estate Trophy, a race for maiden three-year-olds, which commanded interest only because of the presence of the fashionably bred horse, possibly rated as the most expensive horse among her contemporaries.
Saturday’s races were gone through in murky conditions and the quality of fare on offer was run of the mill with Neeraj Rawal booting home a treble. Sea The Storm is by the European Horse of the Year Sea The Stars and the dame of the filly would surely have been an expensive purchase at the pregnant mares sales.
Hence Sea The Stars would have commanded a premium but for the fact that the horse is retained by her breeders.
