Doyle impresses as Al shocks Camelot
On his first attempt at the top level Al Kazeem shocked Camelot to take the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup under James Doyle (his first winner in Ireland and his second Group 1 victory) at the Curragh. Sun 26th May
He's amazing, looks amazing, is brave and all you need in a good racehorse. I'm lucky to have one as good as that and to have him back from stud and I'd say it's my proudest moment. As long as he's enjoying himself he'll keep going, and one day I'm sure he'll go back to stud. Most older horses are a bit stiff and pottery but it's a great credit to his constitution that he never runs a bad race. He's never looked at another filly and just gets on with his work. He'll probably go next for either the Hardwicke or the Prince of Wales's, and as he's won a Group One here he'll probably go for the Prince Of Wales's Stakes. A horse like him is good for racing. Jumpers are around for a long time, and having him has to be good for racing.

He's been a slow maturing horse. Last year he came home with a stress fracture of his pelvis in the Jockey Club Stakes. He's work has been really impressive and James said the ground was bit lively for him there. He's a good horse and he rode him confidently. The plan was to drop in behind Camelot and he rode a good race. We can look at all the top races over a mile and a quarter and we also know he stays a mile and a half very well. I'd like to think maybe the Arc at the end of the season. Ascot is an obvious possibility . we've also got the Eclipse . there's lots of lovely races there for him.
