No less than 33 yearlings from the first crop of the brilliant Sea The Stars are among the 406 entries revealed today for the 2014 English Derby.

Sea The Stars won the Derby in 2009 during a fantastic campaign that saw him win six Group One prizes in as many months before his retirement to stud.

His first progeny will contest the Derby at Epsom on June 7, 2014, in the 235th running of the world's most famous Flat race.

Sea The Stars' entries include the first foal of Japanese star mare Vodka, whose seven top-level successes included the Japan Cup, a $A1.5 million colt out of 2009 Prix Jean Romanet winner Alpine Rose who topped the Arqana August Sale, and sons of the 2000 and 2008 Oaks heroines Love Divine and Look Here.

Sea The Stars' owner Christopher Tsui has six of the sire's yearlings entered.

Sea The Stars' half-brother Galileo, regarded by many as the world's best stallion, has 52 entries including Qatar Racing's $A4.2 million colt Hydrogen, the most expensive yearling sold at auction this year.

The three-parts brother to 2007 Derby hero Authorized is set to go into training with Peter Chapple-Hyam.

Another eye-catching entry is Primogeniture, the first foal of four-time Indian Classic heroine Jacqueline who is in training with John Oxx in Ireland.

Godolphin's 68 initial entries include a New Approach colt out of 2002 Oaks winner Kazzia, and a Street Cry colt out of US Grade Two scorer Serenading, who sold for $A1.14 million at Saratoga in August.

The Coolmore team are responsible for 56 entries, among them a Galileo colt out of dual Group One winner Red Evie and another Galileo colt out of multiple Group One scorer Alexander Goldrun.

The Aga Khan has also enjoyed four Derby triumphs with Shergar (1981), Shahrastani (1986), Kahyasi (1988) and Sinndar (2000) and he has 19 entries for the 2014 Group One spread between Alain de Royer-Dupre and Mikel Delzangles in France plus Oxx.

Hamdan Al Maktoum, whose famous blue and white silks were carried to victory by Nashwan (1989) and Erhaab (1994) at Epsom Downs, is well represented with 23 entries including Almuhalab - a Dansili colt out of 1000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes winner Ghanaati, who goes into training with Charlie Hills.

"The first entry for the 2014 Derby not only includes the very best bred yearlings in Europe but the race's global appeal is exemplified by the fact that colts out of Indian and Japanese champion racemares are engaged," Epsom's director of racing Andrew Cooper said.
