"The ground was quite soft, and Arazan was too good for Sea The Stars", says Oxx. "He (Arazan) just quickened up and finished a couple of lengths in front."
- John Oxx (Extract from the book Sea The Stars,
The story of a Perfect Racehorse, published by Racing Post, 2009).

"John Oxx looks to have two potential stars on his hands in the shape of the talented juveniles, Arazan and Sea The Stars, and he is unlikely to have to wait much longer to return to the Group 1 winners enclosure"

"We were expecting Arazan to fight out the finish of the 2000 Guineas. I think he could have run close to Sea The Stars, over a mile. There was very little between them in their homework prior to the race."
- John Oxx.

"Azamour's half-brother is an impressive winner on his debut."
- Racehorses 2008.

"Arazan was a very high class racehorse, but he had a number of setbacks, including pleurisy and would have run a very big race in the Guineas. It was a difficult decision choosing between them."
- Mick Kinane.

John Oxx's stable has two exciting and choicely-bred three-year old prospects, leading anti-post Derby fancy Sea The Stars (a half brother to Galileo) and Arazan (a half-brother to Azamour).

"The performance made Arazan well worth promoting to Group 1 company and he took his place in the National Stakes, which had originally been nominated for Sea The Stars."
- Racehorses 2008.

"Arazan is a good-topped colt who is sure to stay at least a mile and probably a mile and a quarter. All in all he is a particularly interesting prospect."
- John Oxx, Racehorses 2008.
