Aga Khan Studs – under whose banner the history-making Sea The Stars is standing his first season at stud – said Vodka had arrived at Gilltown Stud since March but did not immediately go in foal.
However, Vodka has now joined a long list of G1-winning mares in foal to Sea The Stars that includes Zarkava, Speciosa, Love Divine and Look Here.
Vodka, a six-year-old daughter of Tanino Gimlet, won at least one Group 1 race in her native Japan in each season at two, three, four and five.
Her finest moment came with her victory in last year's Japan Cup.
She was retired in March after disappointing in the Al Maktoum Challenge at Meydan of over 1.3 billion yen (approx 8.75 million pounds).
