Lightly raced five-year-old gelding I Am Camelot delivered one of the best harness racing performances of the night at UBET Park Hobart on Sunday to win the O A Kingston Pace over 1609 metres.
I Am Camelot was having only his third start back from a two-year break that was enforced though injury.
The Deborah Williams-trained gelding showed great gate speed to lead comfortably from barrier three and when driver Natalee Emery released the reins in the back straight the last time the gelding spreadeagled the field.
I Am Camelot (Safari-Lady Margerica) went on to score by 18-1/2 metres from Punt Road Disco with Witch Master a metre away third.
He clocked a mile rate of 1.59 and sizzled home his last half-mile (800m) in 57.6 seconds.
I m Camelot suffered a slab fracture of the radical carpal bone in his off-front knee that wasn't identified until he was a three-year-old.
