Master of The Seas (IRE)

Master of the Seas was a multiple Group stakes winner on the turf in England and Dubai with wins racing in distance from seven furlongs up to 1 1/8 miles. His wins include the Group 2 Bet365 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket as a 2-year-old on July 11, 2020, the Group 3 Bet365 Craven Stakes going one mile at Newmarket as a 3-year-old on April 15, 2021, and the Group 3 Earl of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket as a 4-year-old on April 12, 2022.

As a 5-year-old in 2023, Master of the Seas began the year with a win in the Group 2 Zabeel Mile at Meydan Race Course in Dubai on Jan. 20, and then later won the Group 2 Fred Cowley MBE Memorial Summer Mile at Ascot on July 15 by four lengths with a late running performance at one mile. Perhaps the highlight of Master of the Seas' career was a second-place finish by a nose in the English 2000 Guineas (English Derby) on May 1, 2021.

Master of the Seas was brought to North America to start in the Grade 1 $1 million Ricoh Woodbine Mile on Sept. 16. He was sent off as the 2-5 favorite on the tote board in a six-horse field and did not disappoint. He made a last-to-first move past the field to win easily by 3 3/4 lengths in a time of 1:33.79 over a firm turf course at Woodbine. The Woodbine Mile was a Breeders' Cup Challenge series win and you're in race, and with his victory, Master of the Seas secured his spot in the starting gate for the FanDuel Breeders' Cup Mile presented by PDJF on Nov. 4 at Santa Anita.

Master of the Seas is trained in Great Britain by Charles Appleby for Godolphin. He was bred in Ireland by the sire Dubawi out of the mare Firth of Lorne by Danehill.
