He was beaten in his first four races as a three-year-old but returned to winning form in autumn to take the Champion Stakes. Background Sealiway is a chestnut colt with a white blaze and three white socks bred in France by Guy Pariente. As a yearling he was consigned to the Arqana sale at Deauville in August 2019 and was bought for €62,000 by the bloodstock agent Paul Nataf on behalf of the Haras de La Gousserie. Pariente, however, retained a share in the colt. Sealiway was sent into training with Frederic Rossi. He was from the second crop of foals sired by Galiway who won two of his six races including the Listed Prix Le Fabuleux before being retired from racing at the end of his three-year-old season.

Owner Le Haras De La Gousserie
Ownership is the state or fact of legal possession and control over property, which may be any asset, tangible or intangible. Ownership can involve multiple rights, collectively referred to as title, which may be separated and held by different parties. The process and mechanics of ownership are fairly complex: one can gain, transfer, and lose ownership of property in a number of ways. To acquire property one can purchase it with money, trade it for other property, win it in a bet, receive it as a gift, inherit it, find it, receive it as damages, earn it by doing work or performing services, make it, or homestead it. One can transfer or lose ownership of property by selling it for money, exchanging it for other property, giving it as a gift, misplacing it, or having it stripped from one's ownership through legal means such as eviction, foreclosure, seizure, or taking. Ownership is self-propagating in that the owner of any property will also own the economic benefi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Going (horse Racing)
Going (UK), track condition (US) or track rating (AUS) are the track surface of a horse racing track prior to a horse race or race meet. The going is determined by the amount of moisture in the ground and is assessed by an official steward on the day of the race. The condition of a race track plays an important role in the performance of horses in a race. The factors that go into determining race track condition include the surface conditions, type of surface, and track configuration. The surface conditions are influenced by the type of surface factoring in soil type, and if the track is dirt, turf, artificial surface; plus surface density, porosity, compaction and moisture content. Australia Prior to a race meeting, an inspection of the racecourse’s surface is conducted by officials.
