I haven't had much luck lately so don't go by my choices but so far I'm looking at :
Dundalk 1.55 - Moonreach
Tipperary 3.55- Go Native
Tipperary 4.25 - The Last Derby
I was worried he wouldn't get out there and he didn't look settled in the first half of the race. Kinane stayed calm and once the gap appeared Sea the Stars absolutely powered through it.

I had a tip for it Ross ages at 10's then again at 8's. I really missed the boat on it. What a horse.

I don't usually follow the flat races so I didn't know much about it earlier in the year, but I went up to Leopardstown just to see it in the Tattersalls a few weeks ago and it was worth every penny. It's a frighteningly good horse.
I think that Dancing Brave is the only horse I've seen who could match Sea The Stars but because Dancing Brave failed to win The Derby (due to a terrible ride by Greville Starkey) Sea The Stars will be deemed the better horse.
It is widely accepted that the year Dancing Brave won the The Arc was the best field ever, it was an amazing race with some amazing horses and Dancing Brave's performance still gives me goose bumps.

Did Dancing Brave ever have to race against four stablemates conspiring against him and still come out on top ?

No but IMO (and the opinion of many in the game) Dancing Brave had to beat the highest quality Arc field ever.
Also, the fact that Dancing Brave raced against Sharastani (The Derby Winner) twice after the Derby and destroyed him both times proved what everyone already knew - that DB would have won the Derby easily had Starkey not got over confident and left him too much to do in the last furlong.
