Sea The Stars became the first horse since Nashwan in 1989 to achieve the English 2000 Guineas and Epsom Derby double here on Saturday, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Its report adds: The Irish raider - giving trainer John Oxx his second derby winner and rider Michael Kinane his third - beat home two of Aidan O'Brien's six runners with Fame And Glory second and Masterofthehorse third.

Sea The Stars ($3.75), whose jockey turns 50 in a few weeks and keeps fit by running eight kilometres a day, was always travelling smoothly behind the two O'Brien pacemakers, Golden Sword and Age of Aquarius.

Kinane had to shake him up a little bit to get past the durable Golden Sword but once past him he had no worries and eased to a one-and-three-quarter length victory, with a neck separating $3.25 favourite Fame And Glory under Seamus Heffernan and $17 shot Masterofthehorse (Richard Hughes). Oxx said the son of Arc de Triomphe winner Urban Sea was a dream to train.
