The three year old has landed six Group One wins this season include the unique treble of the 2,000 Guineas, the Derby and now the Arc. Ex champion Jockey Willie Carson said: “He’s got so much ability. We’ve seen one of the best horses ever.”

Sea The Stars was given a TimeForm rating of 140 after a stunning win in the Irish Champion Stakes, the rating could even improve after a stunning performance in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. The rating puts him up there with legends like Shergar, Dancing Brave and Dubai Millennium.

Yeats Wins Ascot Gold Cup and Makes History http://www.grand-national2011.co.uk/fantastic-four-yeats-wins-ascot-gold-cup/ http://www.grand-national2011.co.uk/fantastic-four-yeats-wins-ascot-gold-cup/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:58:52 +0000 Redrum http://www.grand-national2011.co.uk/?p=72

The Aidan O’Brien-trained Yeats created history by winning his fourth Gold Cup at Royal Ascot today. Yeats went off as the 6-4 favorite with reports of multiple bets in excess of £25000 being lumped onto this superb stayer.

Yeats didn’t disappoint his backers or the Ascot crowd with another classy performance in the race. He slipped past the field and looked very comfortable on the run home. The win by Yeats will be a massive blow to bookmakers who are expect to lose millions in payouts to the heavily backed horse.
