Sea Stone, the 4YO stayer, has set his sights on next year's Dubai Carnival after registering his first win on turf in the 1m6f handicap. The horse, ridden by Benoit de la Sayette, completed a double with this victory, having won a race over 2m at Kempton recently.
The connections of Sea Stone are thrilled with the horse's performance and believe that he has the potential to do well in the Dubai Carnival next year. They are currently considering their options and may run Sea Stone again before he is sent to Dubai.
Sea Stone's victory on turf is an important milestone in his career, as he has mainly been competing on all-weather surfaces. However, his impressive performance in this race shows that he is equally capable on turf.
Successful trainer Ismail Mohammed said, "He's rated 83 and needs to be over 90 for Dubai. Hopefully he could develop enough to run in the Gr. 2 Dubai Gold Cup on World Cup night."
