Arc Dream Alive for OTI Racing

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 9

The OTI Racing colours were in winning form at Longchamp on Sunday where progressive stayer Sevenna’s Knight ran out an impressive winner of the Group III Prix Gladiateur (3100m) opening the door to a possible tilt at the Group I Arc de Triomphe on October 5.

Trained by Andre Fabre, Sevenna’s Knight was purchased privately by OTI Racing after winning impressively at Compiegne last year and the four year-old son of Camelot subsequently won a Listed race and performed well in several Group races.

Sent to Dubai for the Group II Gold Cup over 3200m earlier this year, Sevenna’s Knight finished sixth to Tower of London, but has obviously come on from that experience and has now won three of his past starts in France.

With five wins and three placings from 15 starts, Sevenna’s Knight is a  young stayer on the up with connections set to consider their options.

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 a star on the rise for Camelot, whose progeny have a great record in Australia.

The Epsom Derby winning son of Montjeu has sired 13 stakes-winners here including Group I winners Sir Dragonet and  Russian Camelot, who stands at Widden Victoria with his first two year-olds to race this season.
