Sea The Stars has been hailed as one of the greatest racing horses in history following a thrilling victory in the most prestigious horse racing event in Europe.

The victory by the three-year old cold has cost the bookmakers £25 million, a record-breaking paycheck sent out to those who betted correctly since the said horse’s prior victory last May – the 2000 Guineas. This is more than any other earnings made by other horses in history.

Sea The Stars won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France last weekend which was the horse’s record sixth victory. Christopher Tsui, a 27-year old owner of the horse, easily got £2.2 million for this latest victory.

The colt also set the record as the first horse ever to clinch the 2000 Guineas, Epsom Derby and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the three most prestigious horse racing events in Europe.
