Camelot Kitten (Kitten's Joy) will look to solidify his credentials for champion 3-year-old turf male when he faces a pair of imposing Chad Brown stablemates and seven other rivals in the GIII Hill Prince S.
A winner of three graded stakes this term, including the GII National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame S. Aug. 5 at Saratoga, Camelot Kitten will hope to bounce back after taking a head loss in the GIII Saranac S. closing weekend at the Spa.
Beach Patrol (Lemon Drop Kid) is the lone Grade I winner in the field, having conquered the GI Secretariat S. last time out Aug. 13 at Arlington. That followed a third-place finish with a wide trip in the GI Belmont Derby July 9. Camelot Kitten was fourth that day. Beach Patrol will have to overcome the 10-post, a very tough draw going nine furlongs on the Belmont sod, while his stablemate drew the rail.
In addition to the likely top two wagering choices, Brown also sends out intriguing new shooter Annals of Time (Temple City). Graduating on debut with a strong 88 Beyer last November at Aqueduct, the $80,000 Fasig-Tipton October grad returned with a very good second in a Saratoga optional claimer Sept. 3.
