Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 20, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 20, 2018 Stella di Camelot (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) could scarcely have been more impressive in annexing the Listed Pebbles S. on her U.S. debut over the Belmont turf course six weeks ago and she will look to give her sire another graded winner on these shores in Friday’s GII Mrs. Revere S. at Churchill Downs. By the same stallion who supplied this summer’s GI Belmont Oaks Invitational victress Athena (Ire), Stella di Camelot bookended the European portion of her career with victories, a debut success over six furlongs at Saint-Cloud in July 2017 and a one-mile conditions test at Maisons-Laffitte this past May. Acquired by Madaket Stables, Michael Dubb, Kent Spellman and Bethlehem Stables, the bay relished the easy underfoot conditions in the Columbus Day feature on Long Island and raced away to best SW Andina Del Sur (Giant’s Causeway) by a widening 2 3/4 lengths in the Pebbles. Joel Rosario takes over in the saddle and will have to work out a trip from an awkward gate. Dark Artist (Paynter) went on a three-race tear earlier this summer, posting narrow decisions in the May 26 Boiling Springs S. and in the June 23 Open Mind S., both at Monmouth Park. She sat a perfect ground-saving trip when last seen in Arlington’s GIII Pucker Up S. Aug. 11, but was in traffic turning for home and could do no better than fourth, beaten three lengths. Angel of Mischief (Into Mischief) just missed in her debut over the Ellis main track in July, but followed with a 1 3/4-length maiden-breaker at Kentucky Downs Sept. 8 and an extremely impressive 1 3/4-length allowance success at Keeneland Oct. 11.
