Camelot Colt Sells For Record-Breaking €850,000
A son of Camelot became the most expensive yearling ever sold in Germany when knocked down to Godolphin for €850,000 at BBAG on Friday.
After seeing off stiff competition, Anthony Stroud remarked, “This colt is absolutely beautiful, by a sire of Classic winners and out of a Group 1 winner. When you see Coolmore, Joseph O'Brien and Alex Elliott all bidding on a horse then you know you will have to stretch very hard to get the horse that you want but horses like this colt are rarely found on the market.
“Physically he has all the attributes and then he has a very good pedigree, comes from a very good farm and is out of a very good mare so he has everything we are looking for.”
Stroud confirmed that the colt, already named Del Maro, will be trained by Charlie Appleby. Gestüt Brümmerhof consigned the Camelot colt, who they bred out of their homebred Group 1 winner Diamanta (Maxios).
Camelot is enjoying a fantastic season on the track, led by Group 1 winners Bluestocking, Los Angeles and Luxembourg.
