Some of the other trainers are going to have to start colluding with each other to stop AOB setting the pace terms for races like this. It's not certain Camelot will stay so what will Ballydoyle do? Have a couple of pacesetters go a comfortable pace early to try and get Camelot to settle ,but I doubt they'll
go hard from a long way out. Whereas if Astrology was their No 1 ,the pacemakers would be flat out from a long way out to the advantage of Astrolgys stamina. Some times with people who take advantage you've got to fight fire with fire. Though there is a problem in executing this in that you've got to have entered horse in these races well in advance and wereas AOB has no problem running quality animals into the ground to enhance their stud value of another horse most other trainers haven't got that kind of luxury. It's difficult to argue 8/11 for a horse that hasn't run beyond a mile is value, but he'll have the early pace run to suit him which can only be an additional advantage. |

At the current price Camelot doesn't interest me however he is the obvious winner on paper! Imperial Monarch if he runs would be worth a small investment at the current price of 18/1 tho!

thanx hm, bjg, surely coolmore will have either imp mon/ast in the race, imo the former
|
|
By:
Camelot
Has run three times, all over 8f. Won his last race by a neck and 7 seconds above standard. Epsom is a different test. I'm a sceptic. |
|
By:
Pedigree gurus which are the absolute guaranteed stayers?
|
|
By:
Imeprial Monarch is definitely bred for 1m4f, Astrology may be more and Camelot look to have 10f breeding.
Main Sequence has no chance of staying on pedigree but of course has already won over the ditance at Lingfield?? |
|
By:
Am I missing something? Or can someone suggest to me why you are able to back Imperial Monarch at the same price as that of Thought Worthy a horse whom he has already beaten by 1 3/4lengths whilst giving away 8 lengths by taking the longer route at Sandown in search of better ground! John Gosden the trainer of Thought Worthy himself said the ground was virtually the same that day and he was impressed by Imperial Monarch! Now either one is over priced or the other is under priced! Can anyone shed some light on this?

bruce im only guessing but like everybody i think one of astro logy or imperial will go to france but i wished they make there mind up its days away now
|
|
By:
If Imperial was owned by someone else I'd be all over it. As it is we don't know if it will run and if it does what it's role will be.
Declaring 5 is not cricket IMO unless they all run. They surely must know which are going to Epsom by now. |
|
By:
what about the oaks, are all 7 running
|
|
By:
Imperial Monarch a big drifter on here today and no money on the lay side.
But given he is screaming out on pedigree for 1m4f I don't see the sense in switching to France where it's only 10f. I see a similar race as when High Chapperal beat (outstayed) Hawkwing - maybe this time they desperately want to let the 2nd best horse (Camelot) win ![]() ![]() |
|
By:
Yeah I hope he is declared as a runner to be honest I think he could go very close indeed! I can't have any of the others apart from Camelot but at the price I would rather sit it out!

|
By:
a 9 runner derby. Interesting to see how the race is run. Especially when I am not sure that Astrology will be certain to set the pace.
|
|
By:
Thought Worthy has front run in his last 2 races and given that he looks a horse that appears to have more stamina than pace, there must me a strong chance he will make the running at an average pace. First time Ballydoyle haven't run pacemakers in the
race for a good few years, unless astrology is to take up the role (I think this is unlikley with Moore on board ). These things are never set in stone and it's impossible to be sure what will happen but if Thought Worthy doesn't set the pace they could go slow ,which would probably favour the pacier types, Camelot and Bonfire. Interestingly when Workforce won in a track record they didn't go that quick early and the O'brien pacemaking outsider At first sight looked like he'd nicked it at one stage. The race is too complicated for me and I won't be betting in it. |
|
By:
the race is an eway dream.
|
|
By:
Surely Bonfire is an ew bet to nothing. Can't see him being out of the money. Race unlikely to be run at a mad gallop which will surely be to his advantage
|
|
By:
agree mark, they all going on about him not staying, but many derby winners have been doubtful to get the trip, like you say nothing there to take them at a mad gallop, so a good 10 furlong horse will be in his element , , trouble is this will suit the fav as well. why do you think there not in heavy mobbed as usual.
