Triple Grade I Winner Master Of The Seas Retired

[Wandering Eyes]

Multiple Grade I winner Master Of The Seas (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) has been retired from racing, Godophin announced on X. The homebred signed off with a tally in the GI Maker's Mark Mile at Keeneland for trainer Charlie Appleby last April.

“He had an exceptional career, winning a G2 on just his second start and retired a three-time G1 winner after victories in the Woodbine Mile, @BreedersCup Mile and the Maker's Mark Mile,” Godolphin posted.

“Master Of The Seas will now enjoy his retirement back at Kildangan Stud and become a flagbearer for the Godolphin Lifetime Care programme.”

A winner of the G2 Superlative Stakes at two, the G3 Craven Stakes winner was runner-up in the G1 2000 Guineas in 2021 and third in that autumn's G2 Joel Stakes. Kept in training at four, he added the G3 Earl of Sefton Stakes, his only start that year.

Successful in the winter and sprint of 2023 at Meydan, he added the G2 Zabeel Mile and was third in the G1 Jebel Hatta, before claiming the G2 Summer Mile Stakes that July.  Transferred to North America, the bay landed his first top-level victory in the Woodbine Mile and was second by only a nose in the GI Turf Mile later that year before winning the GI Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita that November in his penultimate start. The son of stakes winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches second Firth Of Lorne (Ire) (Danehill) retires with a record of 17-9-3-2 and $2,520,582 in earnings.

Master Of The Seas is a half-brother to stakes winner and G1 St James's Palace Stakes second Latharnach (Iffraaj {GB}) and group winner and multiple Group 1 producer Falls Of Lora (Ire) (Street Cry {Ire}).
