SWEETMANS Bloodstock is the registered breeder of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby winner Latrobe, and behind that name lies the Magnier family of Grange Stud. While David and Geraldine have been the mainstays for many years, now to the fore are their children Andrew and Catherine, today’s face of Sweetmans Bloodstock.

How they must have enjoyed seeing the Camelot (Montjeu) three-year-old stepping up from a maiden success over the same course and distance to land his first stakes, group and Group 1 win and bagging some €855,000 for owners Lloyd and Nick Williams. This was some way ahead of the €8,008 he netted for his maiden win. Prior to opening his account he was runner-up in the Group 3 Airlie Stud Gallinule Stakes.
