One to Watch – Geelong

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 19

Thanks to the deeds of Sir Dragonet, Russian Camelot, Hunting Horn and King of Leogrance, Camelot has become a favourite with Australian buyers seeking his stock in the Northern Hemisphere with a flurry of recent winners by the Epsom Derby winning sire including a seven length maiden winner at Geelong on Tuesday.

Four year-old gelding Cadbury Castle (GB) was having his third race start and second this preparation and lapped up the 2400m maiden on a heavy track to win as he pleased.

Trained by Lindsey Smith and ridden by Ethan Brown, Cadbury Castle settled back in the field and despite racing greenly up the straight to charge to the lead and ran right away to win by seven lengths.



Bred by Meon Valley Stud, Cadbury Castle was bought by Spicer Thoroughbreds from the 2019 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale for 140,000 guineas and he arrived back in Australia not long after the sale.

He is the first winner for stakes-placed Last Tango Inparis, whose third dam is Group II winner Bella Colora with this family also producing dual Group I winner Russian Camelot, so Cadbury Castle is not short on pedigree.



Camelot has had 46 runners in Australia and New Zealand this season for 14 winners headed by New Zealand based stakes-winner Swords Drawn, but there are a lot of lightly raced promising types among those winners and we can add Cadbury Castle to that list.
