CAMELOT was an immensely talented racehorse, a champion at two and three years when his victories included the Derby at Epsom and the Curragh, the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, and he came agonisingly close to capturing the Triple Crown when he was runner-up in the St Leger. At two he won the Racing Post Trophy on his second start.

He suffered a colic attach at the end of his three-year-old season and stayed in training at four. He was runner-up in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup but his bid for a Breeders’ Cup victory was aborted when he suffered an injury at Ballydoyle and he went to stud in 2014. A son of Montjeu (Sadler’s Wells) and out of the Group 3 winning Kingmambo (Mr Prospector) mare Tarfah, Camelot is a grandson of the blacktype winner Fickle (Danehill).
