Sea The Stars has become the first horse in 20 years to add the Eclipse Stakes title to wins in the English Derby and the 2000 Guineas.
Sea The Stars is only the fifth horse since 1900 to complete the hat trick after beating Rip Van Winkle by a length at Sandown on Saturday. The last horse to accomplish the feat was Nashwan in 1989.
The 4-7 favorite's Hong Kong-based owner Christopher Tsui fainted shortly after the colt won, but he recovered in time to collect the winning trophy and celebrate with jockey Mick Kinane.
