Oxx & Tsui unleash first Stars Progeny

The Oxx & Tsui partnership is well known and highly respected among the bloodstock world.  They were of course responsible for the incomparable Sea The Stars along with his Listed winning half brother Born To Sea. The Tsui's family familiar yellow colours with a purple cap and yellow star were carried by the 6 times Group 1 winning superstar but also carried to Arc glory by his dam Urban Sea in 1993.

The Tsui family breed their horses under the name Sunderland Holdings & they are committed to supporting Sea The Stars at stud and helping him to achieve superstar status not just as a racehorse but also as a sire. They have spent a fortune buying some of his first foals at the sales and even buying young broodmares to eventually send to him.

Tomorrow in the EBF fillies maiden at Leopardstown introduces the first foal by Sea The Stars bred & owned by the Tsui's, it is also the first progeny of Sea The Stars that will make its debut for her sire's own handler John Oxx the youngster in question is My Titania.

My Titania is a daughter of Listed winning mare Fairy Of The Night a daughter of Danehill. Fairy Of The Night is already a proven stakes producer with her first foal Aneedah being stakes placed. Fairy Of The Night is also a half sister to Group winner Dress Rehearsal. They are out of minor winner Sassenach, who is a half sister to Group 3 winner & Group 1 Ascot Gold cup 2nd Far Cry. Another of Sassenach's half siblings Misskinta is the dam of multiple Graded winner Grandeur. This is from the family of top class Australian mare Gentle Genius, herself a black type producer.

The vibes coming from Oxx's Currabeg stables are very positive, with reports suggesting that My Titania could be a potential Group 1 winning filly. And with her half sibling being stakes placed there is sure a lot of  potential in this filly.
