Royal Ascot Stakes-Winner for Camelot

Tara Madgwick - Friday June 22
Montjeu's Epsom Derby winner Camelot shuttled to Coolmore Australia for just one season and featured overnight at Royal Ascot when promising staying three year-old Hunting Horn scored a commanding victory in the Group III Hampton Court Stakes (1m2f).

Hunting Horn - Ascot Racecourse TwitterTrained by Aidan O'Brien and ridden by Ryan Moore, Hunting Horn was a last start sixth in the French Derby, but improved on that effort to bolt away and win by more than four lengths.

"Hunting Horn relaxes well, just like his father [Camelot] and quickens. He has a lot of options - he can step up to a mile and a half as well - and we could have a look at the Coral-Eclipse or go to France with him," said Aidan O'Brien.

The sixth stakes-winner for Camelot, Hunting Horn runs for the Coolmore partners and has the overall record of two wins and three placings from seven starts.

He is a half-brother to Group II winner David Livingstone and Is from unraced Indian Ridge mare Mora Bai, a half-sister to champion racehorse and leading sire High Chaparral.

Camelot covered 104 mares in his lone season in Australia and the resulting foals will be three year-olds next season and they include stakes-placed filly Lady of Shalott.
