THE highs and lows of the sport of racing were experienced by the Tsui family this past week. They lost their star racemare Sea Of Class, the best they have had since the Arc winner Urban Sea, and this came just days after they would have joined in celebrating victory for the Oppenheimer owned and bred Star Catcher in the Group 1 Kerrygold Irish Oaks.

This latest classic success came exactly 12 months after Sea Of Class had announced her arrival on the international stage with a storming success in the same race. She was to go on to add the Group 1 Darley Yorkshire Oaks and to run the brilliant Enable so close in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
