| Seaway is John Gosden's second debut of the season and
regular readers will know that B2yoR can find assessing his newcomers tricky.
Just when you've been lulled into ignoring them up one pops at a longer
SP. In general the debut winners tends to be the higher class types though
and that means they are often for Princess Haya because he trains a lot
of luxury horses for her. This one cost 160,000gns at the Doncaster St
Leger Sales and high for that venue. The sales report colourfully notes
that the room filled (with bidders and the interested bywatchers) when
this one was offered and the likes of John Fretwell also bid. Bidding against
the Maktoum family is a tough shift though. The report quite liked this
one and a certain maiden winner but not obviously the superior type that
would win FTO for these connections.
