Could Waterhouse's "forgotten" filly be heading to Europe?
By Connor Scanlon
The 2024 Golden Slipper winner, Lady Of Camelot, could be heading overseas for a European campaign.
However, the four-year-old filly who is trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott hasn’t raced since March of 2025 causing her to be slightly “forgotten”, according to Bott.
Despite this, the co-trainer revealed that the daughter of Written Tycoon will definitely be running throughout the Autumn Racing Carnival, then potentially completing an international campaign at Royal Ascot.
“A mare that's been easily forgotten has been Lady of Camelot because she's sort of been off the scene for a little bit,” Bott told SENTrack & RSN’s Giddy Up.
“She's back, still early days in her preparation, but obviously you've got to be very excited about anything that she can do.
“She'll be racing over the carnival for us. (Also), plans to potentially keep open an international campaign with her as well - through Europe.
“Obviously Royal Ascot would be a big target.”
Regarding why he and Waterhouse would send the talented filly overseas, Bott revealed that bay has nothing left to prove in Australia and owner Sir Owen Glenn is “keen” to give her an international campaign.
“Sir Owen Glenn's keen to see her on the international stage, given her record here and the pedigree and value that she's got,” the co-trainer revealed.
“It would enhance her value hugely if she was able to win an international Group race or Group 1.
“And it's probably the right time of her career now to be testing her - she's coming off a nice break and she's matured really well.
“She's been faultless in everything that we've seen here in Australia - nothing left to prove here.
“It'd be great to see her campaigning for us over there.”
Giddy Up host Gareth Hall questioned Bott on if there are certain races in mind for Lady Of Camelot in Europe, however, the co-trainer admitted that those targets haven’t been finalised yet.
“No, still sort of finalising everything,” Bott revealed.
“As I said, there's a lot of options on the table at present.
“I feel we've got the right horse to be able to do (an international trip), and you've got to be selective in the horse you take over - she looks to be the right one.”
Lady Of Camelot has won nearly $6 million in prize money and will look to increase that throughout 2026, especially if she is to race overseas in Europe.
