Must admit i was watching the o brien interview afterwards,and i was just suprised he run itnijinsky's fetlocks said:welcometomanchester said:Sorry but Camelot is not a world class horse. No excuses now.
Sorry mate,but that is just nonsense.
You don't win the 2000 Guineas,English Derby and Irish Derby unless you are world class.
I was there yesterday and Camelot,(like most of the field),clearly hated going that was like glue,so you can pretty much ignore this result,and the horse has also had a busy season,and is bound to need a rest.
Hopefully we will see the best of him next summer after a well-earned break.

He just kept going on to matt chapman about the ground saying he hates it and its been a long season..
Why run the horse then?
Anyway did you end up backing Orfevre?
I'm sure every man and his dog who did back it was doing handstands 200 yards from home..
Got to give the winner credit though.

Me and a few mates thinking about it next year. Did you stay down there? How expensive is it? Looks like a top day out. Can't wait till Cheltenham now and it's bloody ages away!!nijinsky's fetlocks said:welcometomanchester said:But what has Camelot beat?

To be fair,you can only beat the opposition you face,mate.
I just think he trained off a bit,and obviously running on a bog didn't help,as he's very much a top of the ground horse,and this was just one race too many after the Leger.
Brilliant day out in Paris - loads of Brits and Irish there,so good craic,although today's racing is a bit of a comedown!
