His sire Montjeu has been one of the greatest classic influences of modern times. Camelot’s early runners have done so well that he looks set to develop into Montjeu’s best stallion son. Camelot has already sired a winner of the Irish Derby, a Gr.1 winner on turf in the U.S., a G1 winning 2yo and a 2yo Listed winner at Royal Ascot. Camelot sired the classic-winning Latrobe from a SHAMARDAL mare and the stylish French Gr.3 winner Pollara from a mare by Shamardal’s grandsire STORM CAT . Storm Cat’s son TALE OF THE CAT sired the second dam of Chesham Stakes winner Arthur Kitt. Camelot sired the smart Hunting Horn from an INDIAN RIDGE mare. Other sons of Montjeu have Group winners from AHONOORA line mares, the stallions involved include INCHINOR , INDIAN RIDGE and DR DEVIOUS . The GREEN DESERT mare Cherry Hinton has produced the Gr.1 winner Athena to Camelot. Camelot creates only 4x3 to DANEHILL when mated to mares by Danehill’s sons. He has already sired Group performers from daughters of DUKE OF MARMALADE and HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR (the dual Gr.3 winner Wait Forever). His Gr.1-winning 2yo Wonderment is out of a DANEHILL line mare. The BLUSHING GROOM line should work very well with Camelot, as two sons of Montjeu have sired Gr.3 winners from RAINBOW QUEST mares. Montjeu sired the Derby winner Authorized from a mare by SAUMAREZ , a son of RAINBOW QUEST . MR PROSPECTOR will be back in the fourth generation of Camelot’s foals and he already has a Listed winner out of a mare by GRAND SLAM . Authorized, another of Montjeu’s Derby winners, has two black-type fillies out of GALILEO mares, including the classic-placed Rehn’s Nest, which are inbred 3x3 to SADLER’S WELLS . Two of Camelot’s high-priced 2018 yearlings had second dams by GALILEO . His stakes-winning son Sir Erec is out of a GALILEO mare. Camelot’s first Group winner, Fighting Irish, has a dam by PIVOTAL . Camelot’s €500,000 third-crop yearling has a dam by EXCELLENT ART , and he should suit daughters of SIYOUNI . Montjeu sired Gr.1 winners in both hemispheres from GRAND LODGE mares. Montjeu had four Gr.1 winners with two lines of Zeddaan. It was a KENDOR mare which produced the 2017 Derby winner Wings of Eagles to a son of Montjeu. There is every reason to expect continued excellent results when Camelot is combined with the SHIRLEY HEIGHTS line as his Gr.3 winners Pollara and Hunting Horn have second dams by SHIRLEY HEIGHTS and DARSHAAN respectively. SHARPEN UP is a path to follow with Camelot, as he sired the second dams of Motivator and Hurricane Run. Montjeu’s top son St Nicholas Abbey was out of a mare by Kris’s son SURE BLADE . Mares by PENNEKAMP , a son of BERING , produced the Gr.1 winner Jan Vermeer to Montjeu and two Gr.1 winners to another son of Sadler’s Wells. Another son of Montjeu has a Gr.3 winner out of a BERING mare.
