Camelot to miss cup

By

JEFF SCOTT

Camelot, the runner-up in last year’s New Zealand Cup and the winner of the Benson and Hedges New Zealand Free-For-All on Show Day, will not contest the $30,000 Lion Brown Easter Cup on Saturday week. “He’s about 98 per cent at the moment but there’s something just not right,” Camelot’s West Melton trainer, Robin Butt, said yesterday. The Timely Knight entire has not raced since finishing sixth in the Benson and Hedges Flying Mile, won by

Our Mana, at Alexandra Park on December 29. He was then eased from training, being affected by a virus, and may be still feeling the effects, according to Butt. “He does not feel quite right when asked to sprint at the end of his workouts. “We’ve had plenty of tests done on him but nothing has shown up,” said Butt. Camelot will now be turned out until next season. The Southland filly, Seafield Celeste, a winner of the D.B. Export Flying Fil-

lies Heat at Invercargill last month, is a new addition to Butt’s team after racing at Washdyke last Saturday. The daughter of Nat Lobell and Seafield Baroness, which was not suited by the sprint home last Saturday, will remain at West Melton until after the $70,000 D.B. Export Flying Fillies Stakes Final at Addington Raceway on May 5. Lady El, which won five races and took a mile record of Imin 58.4 s in her first season campaign earlier this term, is being spelled for two months.
