Sea The Stars' Daughter Aventure Shines in Group 1 Victory

In a thrilling turn of events at Longchamp, the filly Aventure, a homebred from the Wertheimer operation, claimed victory in the Group 1 race on Sunday. Aventure, trained by Christophe Ferland, is a daughter of the outstanding champion Sea The Stars, who is also the sire of the €750,000 sale-topping filly at the BBAG Yearling Sale.

Aventure's dam, Balladeuse, has an impressive pedigree. She is a half-sister to Plumania, a heroine of the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, and Dancequest, who finished third in the Listed Prix de Liancourt. Balladeuse herself won the Prix de Royallieu when it was a Group 2 race, and has foaled Listed winner Bilissie and Group 1-placed Romanciere, both by Dansili. Aventure also has a two-year-old Night Of Thunder half-sister named Maine.

Aventure's success follows a hot-run of form from Sea The Stars' progeny. Night Of Thunder, another stallion, recently secured a fine stakes double, and Command The Stars, a two-year-old Sea The Stars colt, won the Listed Criterium de l'Ouest - Prix du Haras de Boquetot at Craon.

Meanwhile, Toronado, a stallion owned by Swettenham, will miss the Australian breeding season. Raheeb, a two-year-old full-brother to champion Baaeed and Hukum, made a winning debut at Ascot. The Teasdales' Big Mojo caused a surprise at the Haydock Sprint Cup.

In the world of stallions, Mohaather, a stallion owned by Shadwell, sired his first Group 1 winner in the Haydock Sprint Cup. Balladeuse is the dam of the Wertheimers' dual Prix Royal-Oak victor Double Major by Daiwa Major. Aventure's unraced, gelded three-year-old full-brother named Astropark completes the impressive family.

While the birthplace of Aventure is not directly specified in the provided search results, it is worth noting that if you meant "Captain Spirit" from the game "The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit," he is a fictional character living in Beaver Creek, Oregon.

As the racing season continues, the success of Sea The Stars' offspring promises an exciting future for horse racing enthusiasts.
