Teofilo and Camelot add to their stakes winner tallies
Brasilian Man (4 c ex Alta Fedelta by Oasis Dream) won Sunday's Premio Ambrosiano (Gr 3, 2000m) at San Siro and in the process provided former Darley shuttler Teofilo with his 90th stakes winner.
The Nicolo SImondi-trained colt beat Walderbe (Maxios) by a short neck with another two and a quarter lengths back to Presley (Galdiatorus) in third.
Brasilian Man is out of the Italian Group 3 winner Alta Fedelta (Oasis Dream) making him a half-brother to Listed winner Aquila Solitaria (Raven's Pass) and Group 3 placed Villabate (Holy Roman Emperor).
Former Coolmore shuttler Camelot (Montjeu) meanwhile also added to his stakes winners tally at San Siro when Light My Fire (5 m ex Dixie Dance by Orpen) landed the Premio Paolo Mezzanotte (Listed, 2200m).
The victory handed Camelot his 30th stakes winner and continued the fantastic season that the stallion has enjoyed which included the win of Russian Camelot in the South Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2500m).
A $65,000 Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale purchase by Jean Claude Rouget, Light My Fire is out of the winning mare Dixie Dance (Orpen) who has produced three other winners. She is a half-sister to Group 3 winner South Easter (Galileo) being out of Dance Treat (Nureyev) with this also being the family of Office Wife (Secretariat).
Camelot's stakes winners are headed by four Group 1 winners including the aforementioned Russian Camelot, Latrobe, Athena and Wondermont.
