Description
Merlin's Melody – a handsome son of Camelot who has had a sensational run as a sire both in Australia and in the Northern Hemisphere where he sired "Bluestocking" the winner of the Group 1 Prix De l’Arc De Triomphe (regarded as the worlds best race). Merlin's Melody also has some great blood on his dam side being out of Stakes placed daughter of Wootton Bassett, who is now one of the worlds best stallions. Merlin's Melody started off his career very well breaking his maiden early on over the unsuitable distance of 1200 meters but seemed to lose his way with some inconsistent performances. His owners are making way for some potential new stock and are hooping Merlin's Melody can find a new home in a lessor jurisdiction where he can be successful.
