Still amazed he run the horse,after stating several times he hates the ground
What was more amazing was he said its the best horse he as ever trained by a long way
Am not having that mate.
I dont know mate. O Brien has trained some wonder horses but this season the ground has been the worst ground for years. It would be so unlike O Brien to big up a horse as much when you see the horses before him that he has trained from George Washington , Yeats , Galileo , Rock Of Gibraltor , High Chaparral and Rip Van Winkle he really must think a hell of a lot of this horse. Even yesterday the horse lost a shoe and got cut in the race in running. I wouldnt mind seeing it run on its ideal ground all the time but this is horse racing and its great to see horses being tested to there limits.

Sorry Leighton but I can't agree with this at all.
If a horse hates cut in the ground,and the trainer knows that,then you are gaining nothing by running him on glue.
It simply isn't fair on the horse,the connections,or the punters,and any formlines that come out of such races are meaningless.
Running any horse on unsuitable ground or over the wrong distance is just daft,if you know it's unsuitable already.
This has nothing to do with Frankel. Get the impression you have a chip on your shoulder about Frankel.leighton said:They tested Camelot over every distance and ground this season.

Folk post in good faith on here,and don't get dragged over the coals when they get it wrong.
Or were you really going to lump on that 33/1 shot if BWTAC hadn't put you off it?

No chip on my shoulder about Frankel. I just would of loved to see Frankel tested more than he was over a longer distances as well as just 1 mile.
