BAY 2014, SEA THE STARS - CRYSTAL STAR (MARK OF ESTEEM) CRYSTAL OCEAN The best son of SEA THE STARS SEA THE MOON (the first son of SEA THE STARS to stud) has sired Dan Skelton’s unbeaten Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler ALLMANKIND from his first 3YO crop in 2019 TIMEFORM FLAT AWARDS Best middle-distance performance: Crystal Ocean, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (TF performance rating 133) When it comes to the best performance by any middle-distance horse in Britain and Ireland in 2019, the race to focus on is the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, where Crystal Ocean was beaten a neck by Enable in a thrilling finish. Enable won the race, but on the figures it was Crystal Ocean who put up the higher performance rating when taking into account the mare’s 3 lb sex allowance. It was an epic renewal of the King George… The field was one of the strongest assembled this century, probably the deepest since Galileo won in 2001. 8th November 2019
