Jockey Michael Kinane rides the Irish horse Sea the Stars into the winner's circle after victory in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Sunday at Longchamp.
Waiting for the winner.
The trainer John Oxx and horse-owner Christophe Tsui rush to the course, after Sea the Stars won the Arc. They'd been watching the race on a giant video screen, insider the winner's circle.
The press and the public cheer the victor, post-race.
OMG! What did your husband think of that? It looks like you had a good sense of humor about it. Good for you! So funny!
Great photos!

Isn't it fabulous that horse is going to be worth a fortune at stud, imagine 4 classics. Amazing. Of course I'm sure more could do it if only trainers / owners would have the courage to try.
