“Seagulls Eleven: Brighton’s Football Stars Take on Racing’s Elite in Dewhurst Stakes”

**‘A Bit Like His Brighton Owners’: Seagulls Eleven Takes on Racing’s Manchester City** A syndicate led by midfielder James Milner is hoping that their horse, Seagulls Eleven, can pull off an upset in the prestigious Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket. This two-year-old colt, owned by a group of current and former Brighton players, is set to compete against a strong field of six runners in one of the most esteemed juvenile races of the season. Meanwhile, at Tattersalls, just a mile away from the racecourse, football super-agent Kia Joorabchian has been busy securing nearly £20 million worth of yearlings for his Amo Racing operation, going head-to-head with the immense financial backing of Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai. As the excitement builds for the Dewhurst Stakes, trainer Hugo Palmer is optimistic about Seagulls Eleven's chances, drawing parallels between the horse's ownership and the competitive spirit of Brighton's football team. The stage is set for an intriguing showdown on Newmarket’s historic Rowley Mile.
