MATING SUGGESTIONS: It was by only three-quarters of a length that Camelot failed to become the first Triple Crown winner since Nijinsky in 1970. Camelot, like Montjeu, is now a powerful classic influence, with ten Gr.1 winners in his first five crops. Camelot has numerous Group winners from the STORM CAT male line. The classic-winning Latrobe and the Oaks second Pink Dogwood are out of a SHAMARDAL mare, Gr.3 winner Skyward is out of a GIANT’S CAUSEWAY mare and Gr.3 winner Pollara had a dam by STORM CAT . His first runner out of a LOPE DE VEGA mare was Gr.2-placed. DANEHILL line mares are proving successful. Gr.1 winners Even So and Santa Barbara have dams by DANEHILL (therefore inbred 4x2). Camelot also has Group winners out of daughters of DANEHILL DANCER (dual Gr.1 winner Luxembourg and Gr.3 winner Degraves), DUKE OF MARMALADE (Lady Wannabe), EXCEED AND EXCEL (Current Option), FASTNET ROCK (Youth Spirit) and HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR (Wait Forever). He also has a Gr.3 winner out of a grand-daughter of DANSILI . His 2YO Gr.1 winner Wonderment from a grand-daughter of TIGER HILL . The GREEN DESERT branch is reaping rich rewards with Camelot. His 17 foals out of CAPE CROSS mares are headed by Gr.1 winner Russian Camelot. He also sired Gr.1 winner Sir Dragonet from a daughter of OASIS DREAM , plus Gr.3 2YO winner King’s Harlequin from an INVINCIBLE SPIRIT mare. A GREEN DESERT mare produced Gr.1 winner Athena and Gr.3 winner Goddess to Camelot. Camelot’s smart son Hunting Horn is out of a mare by INDIAN RIDGE (also sired the second dam of King’s Harlequin). More MR PROSPECTOR is working with Camelot whose useful son English King has a ZAFONIC dam. Camelot has Gr.3 winners out of a DUBAWI mare and out of a grand-daughter of FORTY NINER . He has black-type winners out of mares by GONE WEST’s sons JOHAR and GRAND SLAM and grandsons RAVEN’S PASS and ELUSIVE CITY , including 2022 Gr.2 winners Saracen Knight and Living Legend. Camelot’s 14 foals out of GALILEO mares include 3 black-type winners.These are inbred 3x3 to SADLER’S WELLS , and Sir Dragonet, Russian Camelot and Current Option are others inbred 3x3 to SADLER’S WELLS . Sammarco, out of a grand-daughter of IN THE WINGS , is inbred 3x4. Camelot’s first crop 2YO Group winner, Fighting Irish, has a dam by PIVOTAL .

Camelot’s Gr.1 winner Sunny Queen has a dam by DARSHAAN . He has two Group-winning daughters with second dams by

SHIRLEY HEIGHTS , and DARSHAAN sired the second dams of Hunting Horn and English King.
