Urban Sea, the legendary race- and broodmare.

Thanks so much for the link Erin's Isle, a great racehorse and mare indeed! I enjoyed linking up to the other news of the promising Ballydoyle youngsters, what a crop. I cannot wait to see the likes of St Nicholas Abbey, Jan Vermeer and Joshua Tree next year and there is even a buzz about an unraced one Captain James Cook. I love the way that the Irish and Brits go deep into a horse's form and behaviour to sum up their ability and character as in the "Timeform" opinions. Years ago I followed a lovely 2 yr old called "The Go Between" who, from a modest start ended up winning quite a few races culminating in the Cornwallis at Ascot and at the end of their page concerning his year was a deep admiration in the words " would that there were more like him."
