THOUGH all the subsequent races were abandoned, thanks to the deluge of rain, the Group 1 Preis der Diana-German Oaks was run, and the result was a major triumph for the Lanwades-based Sea The Moon (Sea The Stars).

Himself a hugely impressive classic winner when he ran away with the Group 1 Deutsches (German) Derby, Sea The Moon was responsible on this occasion for the first three fillies home, Muskova, Kassada and Sea The Lady. The latter pair are both out of mares by Soldier Hollow (In The Wings).
