ILuvTurfRacing · Of the 9 entered in the English St. Leger field now, Camelot is definitely the class horse in the field. That being said, earlier in the week both Joseph and Aidan O'Brien expressed concerns publicly as to whether or not Camelot will stay the 14-1/2f trip at Doncaster or not? The St. Leger's not a race for the faint of heart, and if Camelot does struggle with the distance, mark it down sure as sunshine, Andrew Tinker's horse, Ursa Major, will run all over him. Just like he did the Curragh Cup winner, Hartani, recently when he won the Irish St. Leger Trial. Ursa Major's never been worse than 2nd in his career and he's been winning some tough handicaps in Ireland carrying top weight. He'll stay every yard of this trip and further, IMO. · 247 days ago ·

stevestylesclark · What other year would winning such a tough stretch of races like the English triple crown seem like a 1A to all racing fans because of a horse like Frankel. If Camelot pulls off the win, I will be extremely excited and impressed with such a feat. · 246 days ago ·

Camelot is on the brink of immortality

Will Camelot become the first horse since the great Nijinsky to take home the English Triple Crown?Read More

ILuvTurfRacing · I want to see Camelot win the English St Leger and complete the English Triple Crown as much as anyone. But I have to say, it doesn't bode well for the confidence of those looking to back Camelot in the St. Leger that you've had both Aidan and Joseph O'Brien expressing concerns on different web-sites as to whether or not Camelot will stay the 14-1/2f trip? · 249 days ago ·

AndyScoggin · Nijinsky was as dominant as a sire as he was on the race track. He had 155 stakes winners! Do the British get as excited about a potential Triple Crown winner as we do in the States? · 249 days ago ·

DanMunn1 · Not really, Andy. It was rarely considered for a while as the distance leap is so huge. A mile, a mile and a half and a mile and six....it's crazy really. A while back people wanted to change it as it was 'unachievable'. It's a huge feat but I think this will still get swallowed up by the Frankel show despite Doncaster being virtually sold out for Saturday · 248 days ago ·
