She is one of ten mares to produce two Epsom Derby winners, namely Galileo and Sea the Stars. She is the only mare in the 21st century to produce two Epsom Derby winners. None has produced three winners of this race.[1] Bred by Paul de Moussac's Marystead Farm, she was by Miswaki, a son of the leading sire in North America, Mr. Prospector; her dam was Marystead's mare, Allegretta by Lombard. Miswaki raced in Europe and won the 1980 Grade 1 Prix de la Salamandre. French trainer Jean Lesbordes conditioned a small stable of Thoroughbreds in France for Hong Kong businessman David Tsui. In 1990 he purchased Urban Sea at the Deauville yearling sale on behalf of Tsui for the price of FF280,000 (approximately US$50,000). Racing careerWinner of a maiden race at age two in 1991, the following year the three-year-old Urban Sea won two listed races in her seven starts, capturing the French Prix de la Seine at Longchamp Racecourse in May 1992 and the Challenge d'Or Piaget at Deauville-La Touques Racecourse. In June, Urban Sea ran in two Group One races, finishing sixth in the Prix de Diane and third in the Prix Vermeille. She was shipped to Düsseldorf, Germany where she finished third in the Arag Preis (German 1000 Guineas). Sent to North America in the fall to compete in races for fillies and mares, at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Urban Sea ran second to fellow French horse Hatoof in the 1992 E. P. Taylor Stakes. At Santa Anita Park in California, she finished last in the Yellow Ribbon Invitational Stakes. Urban Sea began her 1993 campaign in March with a win in the Prix Exbury. She traveled to Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong in April, where she finished sixth in the Hong Kong Cup. Back in France, she was fifth in the Prix Jean de Chaudenay. After taking second place in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot, she won a French listed race in July, and in August the Prix Gontaut-Biron. In October, Urban Sea made it three in a row when she scored an upset win in France's most prestigious race, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. In the process of defeating fourteen Group 1 winners, including males, she was ridden in the Arc by Eric Saint-Martin, son of French jockey Yves Saint-Martin. Following her Arc victory, Urban Sea was invited to compete in the Japan Cup at the end of November at Tokyo Racecourse, where she ran eighth. Sent back to the track at age five, Urban Sea began her 1994 racing season in May with a win in the Prix d'Harcourt. She finished third in the Prix Ganay. In what proved to be her last race, she ran fourth in the Coronation Cup at Epsom Downs in England. A fetlock injury ended her racing career. Breeding recordOwner David Tsui sent Urban Sea to Ireland as a broodmare for his Sunderland Holdings, where she became one of the world's most successful broodmares. Her 1997 filly, Melikah, was auctioned in 1998 for €1,500,000, the highest-ever price paid for a yearling at the Deauville sales; she won the Pretty Polly Stakes. Her 1998 colt, Galileo, won the Epsom Derby and was ranked nine times (as of 2017) as leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland. Her 2002 filly, My Typhoon, set a record price for a filly foal of US$2,955,000 when sold at the Tattersalls Sale, and became a Grade I winner in the United States. When Urban Sea's 2006 foal Sea the Stars won The Derby in 2009, she became one of the few mares to have foaled two Derby winners. Sea The Stars won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and Urban Sea became only the second Arc de Triomphe-winning mare to foal a winner of that race (Detroit, the dam of Carnegie, is the other). Sea the Stars is considered by many to be one of the greatest racehorses of all time. In 2009, Urban Sea delivered a bay colt by Invincible Spirit, later named Born to Sea. She died on 2 March 2009 as a complication of foaling.[2] The 2018 Epsom Derby winner Masar is inbred to Urban Sea, descending from Galileo on his sire's side and from Melikah on his dam's side.[3] Foalsc = colt, f = filly
