Russian Camelot to Stand at Widden Stud
Widden Stud s Antony Thompson confirmed the exciting deal April 15 with ANZ Bloodstock News. They are two very exciting and very good-looking stallions, although quite different in their profiles, he said. It s a part-purchase of both horses. Widden managed to buy an interest in Russian Camelot but with the owners retaining a good interest.
Russian Camelot will stand at a fee of A$22,000 (£12,360/€14,220). The 4-year-old was retired last month after suffering a tear in his near-fore tendon following his second place finish in the All-Star Mile at Moonee Valley.
Under the guidance of Flemington trainer Danny O Brien, Russian Camelot won four races from 11 starts, for over A$2.3 million (US$1,698,314) in earnings, with his major successes being the Hyland Race Colours Underwood Stakes (G1) at Caulfield and the Tab South Australian Derby (G1).
