What the Nation is saying about the 2012 English St. Leger (G1)...

Camelot is bidding to bask in a Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe victory just three weeks after his Triple Crown near miss.Read More

  • yukichan · Three yr olds have been pretty stellar at the Arc. Still, as big of a fan as I am of Camelot, I think Orfevre will be toughg to beat. I agree with ILTR in that his St. leger's effort might have taken something out of Camelot. It is really not the ideal prep for the Arc.... · 232 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · I watched it again along with his other races that I could get. He doesn't have a quick turn of foot and needs all of 1/4 mile to run an opponent down which he didn't get in the St. Leger. At the 1/4 pole he actually had to be settled and didn't start his run until 3/16 which by that time Encke got first run on him. The jockey rode with a bit to much confidence as though he we driving a car not riding a horse.I did 1mile 6 fur, that has to take a lot. I checked the times of the other St. Leger's run and it was right in the ball park as the others so aside from what I believe to be jockey error he was the best horse. I certainly wouldn't use that as a prep race for anything.Glad I caught your comments as I was thinking of wagering on him, but not now. · 232 days ago ·

  • MarcelloMarocco · Sorry not sure what happened there, but anyways it was Joseph and his cocky ride that lost the horse the race. Plus Barzalona schooling Joseph again...first in the Dubai World Cup then now in the St.Leger. If you are gonna give Barzalona a head start with a good horse he will beat Joseph every time. Simply out ridden. Now take down Camelot and put the ONLY triple Crown winner in his spot which is ORFEVRE! · 249 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. · 253 days ago ·
