What's more, Sea the Stars' two-length victory at Longchamp was his sixth in Europe's tough Group One races in as many months. The horse, says Frankie Dettori, a leading jockey who trailed Sea the Stars in the Arc, is "in a class of his own." (See pictures of British horse racing...

That Sea the Stars has maintained his form over six grueling months - from the lung-busting sprint in May's 2,000 Guineas to the undulations of Epsom in June - is an even greater achievement...

While soaking in Epsom salts that evening, he started spouting randy Brit-speak to his wife Robin Ruzan in what he calls "that well-traveled, jet-setty Englishman voice." She suggested he write up the character. Within three weeks there was a first-draft screenplay. A toothy icon was born...
