Star New Zealand bred mare Verry Elleegant is likely to be bred to Irish-based stallion Sea The Stars.

Part-owner Brae Sokolski said although the date was yet to be confirmed, the ownership group had a keen interest in sending their 11-time Group One winner to the world’s best thoroughbred of 2009, who has since sired the likes of European stars Baaeed and Stradivarius among his 19 Group One winners.

Sea The Stars, a six-time Group One winner and half-brother to the great Galileo, stands at the Aga Khan’s Gilltown Stud in Ireland for a fee of €150,000.

“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.”
