Brilliant Camelot Takes Two Thousand Guineas
Aidan O’Brien-trained Camelot took the lead in the final furlong and then held off the late challenge of French Fifteen to win the QIPCO Two Thousand Guineas (Eng-I) by a neck at Newmarket May 5.
The 3-year-old son of Montjeu, making his first start of the year in the Guineas, remains undefeated in three career starts. He is owned by Derrick Smith, Susan Magnier, and Michael Tabor
A field of 18 sophomores went to the post in the Guineas, with Camelot going off as the heavy favorite.
Ridden confidently by O’Brien’s son, Joseph, Camelot was settled toward the back of the pack nearest the stands’ side rail as the runners split into three separate groups. Longshot Talwar was the overall leader, showing the way through the early stages of the race, as the three groups spread out the width of the Rowley Mile.
