he is not going to add to his rep winning the irish derby by miles he would by winning kg by 4 or 5 l
Matt when i put them derby winning times up was not saying one was beter than the other because he ran quicker times was just stating it was a well above adverage derby winning time as most considered it a poor derby the time was actually solid I dont think it was a terrible Derby. I actually think he won very easily and saw the trip out in full. I also think he will be a better horse on a more galloping track. However you could say St Nic was more impressive on the clock because the pace of his race wasn't as generous, though i haven't even checked the sectionals so it might not have been. For me Sir Percy's race was an awful Derby still bags of improvement in him too id say he only at 75% for derby i rate him highly for winning the guineas trip was way too short so i rate it higher than the derby win

Re: Frankel v Camelot
To suggest Frankel has been protected by connections, when it has all but been announced Camelot will retire at the end of this year, is laughable. He has been kept in training to prove he is the best, not to make a quick buck for his owner, and when the time is right, he will dominte at 10f, Camelot and all.

Sir Percy didn't do much after winning that Derby, but there was certainly a lot of quality horses in the race. I'd be amazed if Camelot's Derby produces anything even close to those stats in terms of the future achievements of his rivals.

Re: Frankel v Camelot
You can keep your stats. Obviously Chelsea are the best team in Europe. Dylan Thomas was ok, his Arc was hardly jammed full of quality, the others are G2 horses. Papa Bull?
I think Main Sequence is pretty useful, Thought Worthy was all over the shop at Epsom and did well to finish where he did. He might go to the Leger as well. The others plainly are nowhere near G1 level and were running because of the small field.

Re: Frankel v Camelot
Main Sequence is a very useful horse - people can take as much as they want away from that derby performance but Camelot did everything right. He didn't race a particularly smart race (raced widest of all at times) and did not really handle the track that well; yet he still wins the race with consummate ease!!
Using Papal Bull in your stats argument is the biggest turn off since Ann Widdecombe - awfully average horse!!

Re: Frankel v Camelot
Ye are entitled to your opinions but you can not argue with facts, and the facts say papal bull was a well above average horse even if he was a pig

Maybe, but I think he just didn't want to go to the front, when a horse is like that there is nothing that can be done and unfortunately I'm speaking from experience
