Top Australian sprinter ruled out of Royal Ascot and career in jeopardy after stingray attack on Brisbane beach

Australian Group 1 winner Lady Of Camelot, a four-year-old filly trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott and owned by Go Bloodstock, has been ruled out of the Doomben 10,000 and her Royal Ascot targets after sustaining wounds to her near foreleg in a stingray attack at a Brisbane beach. The horse had held entries in both the King Charles III Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, priced at 12-1 and 10-1 respectively. Go Bloodstock confirmed her Brisbane Winter Carnival and international campaigns have been cancelled immediately, with her long-term future as a racehorse now uncertain, though she is described as a valuable prospect given her Golden Slipper Group 1 victory two years ago.
