+CAMELOT KITTEN (c, 2, Kitten’s Joy–Celestial Woods, by Forestry), perhaps a touch dead on the board at 5-2 considering his high-profile connections took last year’s GI Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint with full-brother Bobby’s Kitten, GISW, $1,294,916, proved well-meant with a professional debut score here. Reined in to sit second last early off a glacial pace set by second timer Steamboat Bill (Sky Mesa), the bay waited for running room into the lane as the pacesetter threatened to keep going. Switched out four wide at the head of the straight, he kept on coming to reel in Steamboat Bill by a neck. Unsurprisingly, Camelot Kitten, who is also a full to Major Magic, SW, $155,887, has yearling and weanling full brothers. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $45,000.
