Tulloch Lodge has unveiled the spring campaigns for two of their standout horses, Storm Boy and Lady Of Camelot.

Trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott are targeting the Melbourne Spring Carnival with the pair.

Lady Of Camelot is set to kick off her campaign aimed at The Everest (1200m) in the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) at The Valley next month.

Meanwhile, Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) winner Storm Boy will start in the Group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m) at Rosehill on September 14, with the goal of competing in the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m).

Both horses trialed at Randwick on Monday, with Storm Boy emerging victorious and Lady Of Camelot finishing runner-up over 850 metres.

“I think he’s more a miler and I think you’ll see him really come to hand over a mile,” Waterhouse said of Storm Boy.

“Firstly, there will be the Golden Rose, and then he’ll come down.

“If you want to make a stallion, you have to come to the Caulfield Guineas, that and the Coolmore Stud Stakes (up the straight) and the Golden Rose, they’re the stallion making races, for the sprinter and the middle-distance colts.”

On Lady Of Camelot, Waterhouse added: “We’ll get her fit in Sydney first before we bring her down. She had her first trial at Randwick and we’ll give her another trial and then we’ll bring her down. I would love her in The Everest and (owner) Sir Owen (Glenn) would love her there too.”
