The Tattersalls Horses in Training third session is underway and as predicted Camelot three year-old English King proved a highly desirable commodity knocked down to Armando Duarte / Ballymore Stables Australia / Paul Moroney Bloodstock for a whopping 925,000 guineas.
The blue-blooded colt is a three-quarter brother to Group III winner Pacifique and to stakes-winner Prudenzia, the dam of Group I stars Magic Wand and Chiquita.
He has the ability to match his pedigree having won the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial this year before finishing fifth in the Group I Epsom Derby.

This year’s Cox Plate winner Sir Dragonet has a very similar profile, also being sired by Camelot and finishing fifth in the Epsom Derby last year.
