Sea Moon (foaled 6 March 2008) is a British-bred Thoroughbred racehorse. He was initially trained in Britain and as a three-year-old in 2011 he won the Great Voltigeur Stakes, was runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Turf and finished third in the St Leger. In 2012 he won the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot. In 2013 he was sold and sent to be trained in Australia where he won the Herbert Power Stakes.
Sea Moon is a bay horse with a white blaze and three white socks, bred by his owner, Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms. Sea Moon is the best horse to date sired by Beat Hollow whose wins included the Grand Prix de Paris and the Arlington Million. His dam, Eva Luna (USA), won the Park Hill Stakes and became a highly successful broodmare: her progeny include the St Leger winner Brian Boru and Soviet Moon, the dam of Workforce.
Sea Moon was sent into training with Michael Stoute at Freemason Lodge stables at Newmarket, Suffolk. He has been ridden in most of his races by Ryan Moore. In January 2013 Sea Moon was sold to prominent Australian racehorse owner Lloyd Williams.
Sea Moon made his first appearance on 12 October when he finished second in a one mile maiden race at Leicester Racecourse. Two weeks later, he started at odds of 1/5 in a similar event at Great Yarmouth Racecourse and recorded his first victory, winning by a length from Little Rocky.
