Camelot lands 2000 Guineas glory.

Hot favourite Camelot landed the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket for the Aidan O'Brien team with a late flourish.

Joseph O'Brien held him up towards the rear of the main group and produced him with a charge through the final furlong.

Overseas raider French Fifteen made the best of his way home, but Camelot (15-8 favourite) cut him down and swept to victory by a neck.

Well the king has been crowned but only just but congratulations to AO on winning his 6th 2000 Guineas.


Doyle in Al Kazeem romp.

Roger Charlton's Al Kazeem sprung a minor surprise when claiming some prize scalps in the Qatar Bloodstock Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket.

Ridden by James Doyle, who flies to Hong Kong straight after the 2000 Guineas to partner Cityscape in the BMW Champions Mile, the four-year-old stretched away to win the Group Two contest in tremendous style.

The 15-2 chance romped clear to score by four and a half lengths from Quest For Peace, with Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden staying on for third, a length and a quarter further back.
