New SW for Camelot and OTI Racing

Tara Madgwick - Sunday August 6

The OTI Racing colours were in winning form at Rosehill with Holstein taking out the Highway event for the Matt Dunn stable and they were also carried to victory overnight in France by promising young three year-old staying prospect Sevenna’s Knight, winner of the Listed Prix Michel Houyvet (2800m) at Deauville.

Trained by Andre Fabre, Sevenna’s Knight was purchased privately by OTI Racing after winning impressively at Compiegne in June.

Having his first try in a Black Type race, the Camelot colt powered to the line to win by a length and three-quarters, his second win from six starts.

Bred by Gestut Ammerland, Sevenna’s Knight is bred to be very good as a sibling to Group winners Sevenna Star and Savanne as well as stakes-winners Samurai and Sassella. He is the fifth stakes-winner from six foals to race from Group III winning Galileo mare Sevenna.

Sevenna’s Knight is the 54th stakes-winner for Camelot and is his fourth from a daughter of Galileo.
