After winning the 2009 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamps, Sea The Stars is set to head to America to compete in the Breeders’ Cup.
However many racing experts are questioning whether the colt’s trainer, John Oxx will make the journey.
With so little time between the two races, Sea The Stars would need to make a speedy recovery from the Arc in order to race at his best at the Cup.
Held on the 6th and 7th of November, the Breeders’ Cup will once again take place at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
The series of Grade 1 races are offering purses between $500,000 and $5 million.
The colt will still have to fight for the top place as race favourite as many bookmakers seem to be having a hard time deciding whether Sea The Stars or Rip Van Winkle should be the favourite.
The next major race for the season will be the Japan Cup on November 29th in Tokyo.
This 2400m weight-for-age race is open to all good staying horses aged three years and up.
Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe runner up Youmzain is likely to make the trip to Tokyo however not before he tries to take out the Canadian International.
