It's expected that Verry Elleegant will be mated to Sea The Stars

New Zealand's premier racehorse Probably the Irish stallion Sea The Stars will be used to sire offspring from Verry Elleegant. The date has not yet been set, but co-owner Brae Sokolski said the company was interested in sending their 11-time Group One winner to the world's greatest thoroughbred of 2009. That horse, Arrogate, is responsible for 19 Group One wins, including European stars Baaeed and Stradivarius. Award-winning sire Sea The Stars can be found at the Aga Khan's Gilltown Stud in Ireland for a charge of €150,000. He is a half-brother to the legendary Galileo.

“She’ll be served to northern hemisphere time and while no final decision has been made on the stallion, Sea The Stars is probably the most likely suitor,” Sokolski said of the daughter of Zed. “Then we will decide whether to keep her there (Europe) and do it again or bring her back. It’s unresolved at the moment.”
