Mr Havercamp, Canada's champion grass horse and champion older horse of 2018, has been retired according to his trainer Catherine Day Phillips.

"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the retirement of multiple Canadian champion Mr Havercamp," Phillips said May 31 on Twitter. "We are all so grateful for the journey that he has taken us on!"

The trainer also explained that the 6-year-old Court Vision  gelding had injured his pelvis during training Saturday morning at Woodbine. She said a "full recovery is expected."

Owned by Sean and Dorothy Fitzhenry, multiple graded stakes winner Mr Havercamp earned $679,558 from eight wins in 14 starts, with one runner-up finish in the 2018 Ricoh Woodbine Mile (G1T), since making his debut as a 3-year-old in 2017. He most recently raced in the Seagram Cup (G3T) in August at the Ontario track where he finished fourth. Prior to that effort he won the Forbidden Apple (G3T) at Saratoga Race Course.

His graded stakes wins also include the Autumn Stakes (G2) and Play the King Stakes (G2T), both at Woodbine in 2018, which aided in earning him championship honors that year.

Sean Fitzhenry bred Mr Havercamp out of his Medaglia d'Oro  mare Tennessee Lamb.
