Final foal out of Ceiling Kitty takes home the Chesham Stakes

Six years after his late dam Ceiling Kitty ran away with the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, Arthur Kitt carried on the family tradition with a gutsy success to win the Listed Chesham Stakes on Saturday.

The colt is the third and final foal out of Betfair founder and Chasemore Farm owner Andrew Black's Royal Ascot heroine - whose life was tragically cut short after Arthur Kitt was born.

A daughter of Red Clubs, Ceiling Kitty produced three foals for Black - all of whom bear the distinction of being winners. Arthur Kitt is a half-brother to the winning Formidable Kitt and is a half-brother to the Listed scorer Eartha Kitt.

This is the further family of Japanese 1,000 Guineas heroine Jeweler and the Grade 3-winning One Carat.

Arthur Kitt is by dual Derby hero Camelot and becomes the second winner to be sired by the son of Montjeu at Royal Ascot this week. He was on the board on Thursday thanks to Hunting Horn's impressive victory in the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes.

The pair are part of six stakes winners Camelot has supplied since retiring to Coolmore's Irish base in County Tipperary with his progeny headed by the Group 2-winning Fighting Irish.
