Sea The Moon eclipsed by Ivanhowe.

German sensation Sea The Moon suffered an unexpected first defeat of his career when only second in the Grosser Preis Von Baden.

Not seen since his spectacular victory in the Deutsches Derby back in early July, Markus Klug's colt was reported not to be at peak fitness but was still fancied to take this Group One event before heading on to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Cristian Demuro found himself in front in the early stages but Sea The Moon could not cope with a strong run down the stands rail by Ivanhowe, who came well clear in the closing stages.
