A champion at two and three, Camelot won the 2000 Guineas, Derby and Irish Derby before suffering a three-quarter-length defeat by Encke in the St Leger when bidding to become the first Triple Crown hero since Nijinsky swept the series in 1970.
He was a beaten favourite behind Solemia on heavy ground in the Group 1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe several weeks later, and although showing plenty of ability when he stayed in training as a four-year-old, it was below the level of what he achieved at three. He kicked off that third campaign with an odds-on success in the Group 3 Mooresbridge Stakes over 10 furlongs at the Curragh, was again odds-on when chasing home Al Kazeem in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup three weeks later, and then finished a four-length fourth behind that same rival in the Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ascot, on what was his final start. Camelot, who stands at Coolmore Stud, is a son of the brilliant middle-distance horse and outstanding classic sire Montjeu (by Sadler's Wells) and so he is by the sire of the notably successful stallions Authorized and Motivator. There are 128 known offspring in his first crop.
He is out of the Group 3 Dahlia Stakes winner Tarfah (by Kingmambo), who is, in turn, out of the listed scorer Fickle (by Danehill), and the stakes winners under his third dam include that mare's grand-daughter Fireglow (by Teofilo), who was fourth behind Minding in the 1000 Guineas in early May, but surprisingly bypassed the Oaks and did not step up to 12 furlongs until late last month when she added another listed race win to her tally.
Camelot's fourth dam is the Group 3 Lancashire Oaks and Group 3 Cheshire Oaks winner One Over Parr (by Reform), a full-sister to 1974's Group 1 Oaks winner and Group 1 1000 Guineas runner-up Polygamy, and his fifth dam is the Princess Royal Stakes scorer Seventh Bride (by Royal Record). His pedigree and racing profile suggest that he will get late-season juveniles who go on to fare best over middle-distances at three and beyond. His pedigree does not offer any solid clues as to his potential to get pattern and Group 1 horses, but the reception that his yearlings have been getting is a very positive one, so clearly his progeny are looking the part. CAMELOT (GB) – b.2009 – Montjeu – Tarfah, 6 wins inc Derby (Gr1), Irish Derby (Gr1), 2000 Guineas (Gr1), Racing Post Trophy (Gr1), Mooresbridge Stakes (Gr3), 2nd St Leger Stakes (Gr1), Tattersalls Gold Cup (Gr1).
