They do not want so many meetings trying to lose some.

They are only human and therefore make mistakes, and at least she admitted she did....many dont.

Yes he does love to come to Aussie and for sure that would shake things up.

Maybe has had better advice??

I said its time to move on so please do.

Way to many conflicts of interest as are now on full display.

Golden Slipper winner Lady Of Camelot retired Golden Slipper Lady Of Camelot has been retired. Picture: Jeremy Ng / Getty Images By Adam Dobbin 04:26pm • 17 May 2026 Connections have made the call to retire top flight mare Lady Of Camelot following her shock stingray attack in the lead up to last Saturday's Doomben 10,000. The 2024 Group 1 Golden Slipper winner was meant to contest the Group 1 Brisbane feature as an audition to a potential Royal Ascot raid next month. But with the stingray attack thwarting those plans, the decision has been made to retire the highly valuable mare to the breeding barn. Owned by Sir Owen Glenn's Go Bloodstock, Lady Of Camelot – trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott– raced on 14 occasions for two wins and eight placings. "She's given us an incredible run," Bott said. "She didn't quite get all the way there but she retires with nothing left to prove either with what she's achieved. "To win the pinnacle of our 2YO races in the Golden Slipper and race at the elite level right through her career speaks to how tough and talented she was. "She was a bit unlucky in a Blue Diamond as well and obviously ran brilliantly in a Coolmore (Stud Stakes) and The Everest as well. "There was an unlucky stretch there in some big races stretching out in distance but she was always extremely brave. "Sir Owen Glenn loves his racing but he loves his breeding as well and she enters now as a great addition to his incredible broodmare band."

Picture: Bradley Photos Lady Of Camelot's two victories came as a two-year-old, landing the Group 3 Widden Stakes before going on to win the $5 million Group 1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill Gardens a month later. While she didn't win another race following her stellar two-year-old season, the daughter of Written Tycoon can hardly go down as being laden by the Golden Slipper curse, performing with distinction at the highest level right up until retirement. The Blue Diamond runner-up returned as a three-year-old to run a cracking fourth in the 2024 $20m The Everest won by wonder mare Bella Nipotina. She would go on to run third in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington before returning in 2025 with four sublime minor place performances. The first would be to then-super sprinter Private Harry in The Sunlight on the Sunshine Coast before chasing home Lady Shenandoah on three straight occasions in the Group 2 Light Fingers, Group 1 Surround Stakes and Group 1 Coolmore Classic. Bott and Waterhouse elected to give the star mare an extended spell following her arduous 2025 autumn campaign with a potential 2026 Royal Ascot raid in mind.

It is in the city so it wont be him...

I was thinking could it be an international trainer??? A Melbourne trainer moving up from Melbourne is not a major shake up in racing...is it???

Small fish are always the sweetest.

Yes I wondered that too.

I think we have all had a fair lash at this...lets move on to Sunday shall wee.
