20th SW for Camelot

Tara Madgwick - Thursday August 15
Montjeu's Epsom Derby winning son Camelot sired his 20th stakes-winner in Ireland overnight with a win in the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes for blue-blooded filly Goddess, whose pedigree makes for interesting reading.

Camelot sired his 20th SW with GoddessA Coolmore homebred trained by Aidan O'Brien, three year-old Goddess scored a length and a quarter win in the 1m 1 ½ f contest to bring even more Black Type to her stellar family.

Goddess is a full sister to Camelot's Group I Belmont Oaks winner Athena and is a three-quarter sister to Group I winner Bracelet and Group II winner Wading, both of them sired by Montjeu from exceptional producer Cherry Hinton, a Group placed Green Desert daughter of Arc winner and blue hen Urban Sea.

Widely regarded as one of the great broodmares in history, Urban Sea had 11 foals, nine of them raced and eight won… all of them winning stakes-races with Cherry Hinton a non-winner, but Black Type placed nevertheless.

Those winners for Urban Sea are headed by two champion racehorses and sires in Galileo and Sea the Stars followed by two more Group I winners in My Typhoon and Black Sam Bellamy, followed by Group III winners All Too Beautiful and Urban Ocean and then followed by two more Listed winners in Born to Sea and Melikah, who is the third dam of last year's Epsom Derby winner Masar, a homebred for Godolphin.

The power and longevity of this family through the deeds of Galileo and Sea the Stars has gone a long way to shaping European racing for the past 10 years.

Camelot shuttled to Australia for one season in 2014 and stood at Coolmore Ireland at a fee of 40,000 euros in 2019.
