Sea The Stars heads to Ireland for stud duty

Sea The Stars will be sent to the Aga Khan's thoroughbred breeding farm in Ireland to stand at stud.

The 3-year-old colt owned by Hong Kong-based Christopher Tsui and family was retired after winning the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe earlier this month, the horse's sixth consecutive Group 1 victory.

The owners said Tuesday the stud fee will be $138,000. Aga Khan operates Gilltown Stud at County Kildare.

Sea The Stars also won the English 2,000 Guineas and the English Derby in earning $6,797,494. The horse was under consideration to run in next weekend's Breeders' Cup Classic before he was retired.

The Aga Khan said in a news release that he would breed his champion filly Zarkova, winner of the 2008 Arc winner, to Sea The Stars.
