Dubawi’s Master of the Seas Best In The Earl of Sefton

Godolphin's G1 2000 Guineas second Master of the Seas (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) had been gelded since finishing seventh in Ascot's G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. last term and remained on target for Royal Ascot's G1 Queen Anne S. with a snug victory in Tuesday's G3 bet365 Earl of Sefton S. tackling nine furlongs at Newmarket. The 5-4 favourite, who annexed the 2020 G2 Superlative S. and this meeting's G3 Craven S. last year, was positioned in a handy fourth after a slick getaway. Inching closer once leaving the half-mile pole behind, he loomed large at the quarter-mile marker and was ridden out once gaining a narrow advantage entering the final furlong to account for Anthony Oppenheimer's G2 Dante S. runner-up and G3 Sovereign S. victor Megallan (GB) (Kingman {GB}) by 1 1/4 lengths in ultimately comfortable fashion.

“He has been a touch frustrating, but it is great to get him back today,” said Charlie Appleby after overseeing the 4-year-old's third win at this venue. “He was the class horse of the race and nine furlongs I felt was well within him. He always runs well here, first and foremost, and got caught flat footed when he ran [third] against Benbatl [in September's G2 Joel S.]. I thought this step up would suit him and, at the two pole, I was just hoping he would get that gap. William [Buick] thinks bringing him back to a mile is his gig as much as I felt the one mile one [furlong] would suit him. I was just pleased to see the horse get his head back in front and that will do his confidence good. If you asked me what race I'd like to work back from it would be the [G1] Queen Anne [at Royal Ascot] as he stays nine furlongs and that is a stiff mile there. We all know Ascot is an important part of our calendar and, in our team, he is a big player.”

Master of the Seas is the 10th of 12 foals and one of eight scorers produced by stakes-winning G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches runner-up Firth of Lorne (Ire) (Danehill). The March-foaled homebred bay is kin to a 2-year-old filly by Dark Angel (Ire) and to stakes-winning G1 St James's Palace S. runner-up Latharnach (Iffraaj {GB}), G3 UAE Oaks victrix Falls of Lora (Ire) (Street Cry {Ire}), the stakes-winning Etive (Elusive Quality) and Listed Navigation S. third Tipstaff (GB) (Street Cry {Ire}). Falls of Lora, in turn, is the dam of GI Summer S. hero Albahr (Dubawi {Ire}) and MG1SP G3 Doncaster Prelude winner Cascadian (GB) (New Approach {Ire}). The winner's dam Firth of Lorne is a daughter of GSW G1 1000 Guineas second Kerrera (Ire) (Diesis {GB}), who is a half-sister to MG1SP sire Rock City (Ire) (Ballad Rock {Ire}) and whose descendants include G1 Prix Jean Prat placegetter and G2 German 2000 Guineas-winning sire Pacino (GB) (Zafonic) and G2 Premio Parioli (Italian 2000 Guineas) and German 2000 Guineas hero Dupont (GB) (Zafonic).

MyRacehorse Launches In The UK And Ireland With Juvenile Trio

MyRacehorse, a U.S.-based racehorse micro-share ownership operator, is expanding to the UK and Ireland with three 2-year-olds, including a 450,000gns Dubawi (Ire) colt purchased out of the Tattersalls October Book 1 Yearling Sale. Out of J Wonder (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), he is trained by Andrew Balding. John and Thady Gosden have a $300,000 Keeneland September filly by Mendelssohn for the GI Kentucky Derby/GI Breeders' Cup Classic-winning organisation. The trio is rounded out by a Zoffany (Ire) filly in the yard of Joseph O'Brien. She was purchased for €170,000 at Goffs Orby.

MyRacehorse has over 100 horses in training in America and over 50,000 registered users. They added another location, Australia, in June of 2021, and currently have 36 horses there and over 12,000 owners Down Under. Their aim is to make racehorse ownership available to any casual fan by way of fractional shares. In most cases, shares for their UK/Ireland venture will be priced under £200. For more information, please visit MyRacehorse's website.

Jules Pittam, UK Managing Partner of MyRacehorse, said, “We want to give people the opportunity to experience elite ownership at an affordable price and encourage new owners into the sport. Our goal is to increase engagement with the industry overall by providing owners unrivaled behind-the-scenes access and hopefully the opportunity to enjoy some of the best moments in sport as they tread the path to glory.

“The tide is turning on racehorse ownership, and the sport is becoming more reliant on shared ownership and syndicates–something we at MyRacehorse are passionate about. We want to offer this unique opportunity to racing fans in both the UK and Ireland and give them the chance to join our 70,000 strong global community.

“Unlike other ownership models, we offer contractual racing and breeding equity; so when our horses win big, so do our owners.”
