Bred to Win a Derby

Tara Madgwick - Monday May 11

Frustrated by the lack of staying bred yearlings in Australia and the fierce competition on tried stayers coming out of Europe, Danny O’Brien and his owners turned their attention to the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and found Russian Camelot.
 




Russian Camelot boasts a top class pedigree page with a 3 x 3 double cross of Sadler’s Wells and is the 14th Group I winner worldwide to feature that double cross joining a list headed by 10- time Group I winner Enable..
