I think you should look at the ratings guys. With the best will in the world your opinion my not be worth a hill of beans. And neither, for that matter, could mine. But you see I am not saying Farhh would hammer Camelot, you are. And that is what I needed to hear. I would understand it if I were but I am not, you are. Of course it would have been nice if come up with form that shows Farhh would hammer Camelot not only because I would like to see it but it would support your opinion. But hey ho. 

Of course the problem is you also think AOB is a fool Sin so actually I am quite happy being in that club. And at least it makes me smile. And added to that John Gosden apparently doesn't know what he is talking about. So work it out guys. 

And poor AT. I never brought up Frankel, or Camelot so read the posts. And don't forget we are supposed to be assessing the Juddmonte.

So let me give you a little insight as to where we are.

If Australia is the best horse AOB has trained that means he is better than St Nicholas Abbey in AOB's eyes at least. Are you still with me?

St Nicholas Abbey finished alongside Farhh in the 2012 Juddmonte. So it is good that you rate Farhh so highly. I needed to get you to say that yourselves which you did, loudly. It doesn't matter who won that race by miles. Are you still with me?

So the million dollar question is: Was the opposition to St Nicholas Abbey in the 2012 Juddmonte stronger or weaker than the likely opposition to Australia?

Come on guys, I'm sure you can work the rest out for yourselves. Well I'm pretty sure. Wink

When I put down what I think I am preaching.

When I get you to tell me what to put down I singularly fail to understand.

Just read the posts guys don't just jump in and make silly statements. Read who brings up Frankel or Camelot or whatever. And try not to forget we all have different opinions. Of you may be right all of the time but I doubt it so you must respect the fact that others have different views. It comes with maturity.

What I have written above is based on YOUR opinion.

Where have I said AOB is a fool? Like I said, you have no idea about the breeding side of the game and you swallow his every word.

As for John Gosden, I have successfully second guessed him all season long. When fools like you were saying Kingman needed cut in the ground because of his supposed ''dodgy pins'', and that he was a sprinter/non-stayer, people like me were hammering him for the SJP at odds-against (all posted on here before the race) whilst you layed him, and that Taghrooda would run in the King George which I backed at 15/2 (posted on here). Money where my mouth is and proven correct. Never did I say he did not know what he is doing, but the complete opposite. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing. Only someone as naive as you cannot see it. If John Gosden says one thing.. ask yourself if he is really thinking something else. It will save you money. Next up, lets see where Eagle Top runs next WinkLaugh

Now, please find the post where I said AOB was a fool and JG doesn't know what he is doing.. thank you. Excited

"I would be really interested in a form line that puts Farhh in front of Camelot Wickedt. In your own time."

You're so amateur that you think everything must be measured on 'form lines' and what's beaten what by how many lengths giving what weight. It's incredible that you've been into racing for so long and still don't have a clue. Cry

Camelot was the best of an absolutely woeful bunch of three year olds. He won possibly the worst Derby ever. The Irish Derby was horrendous. In order to defend Camelot you scrape from the barrel of those that say the Irish Derby finished him. He beat Born to Sea ffs Laugh

------

I bet if I said to you that beating Cirrus & Ruler of the World in the Champion Stakes puts him far above Camelot, you'd respond with "But Aidan O'Brien rates Camelot as the best he's ever trained, which means he must be better than Ruler of the World, so on that basis Camelot beats Farhh."

Sin first can I say that I backed Kingman in the SJP at 5/4 and laid him at 1/4 in running. I also backed Night of Thunder and Kingman against the field. I backed Toronado and I backed Treve (small) to cover my stake on Australia in the Arc.

OK I will give you a form line that puts Cameloit in front of Farhh.

In the 2000 Guineas Camelot beat Hermival by 2.5 lengths.
In his next race Hermival beat Gabrial by 1.25 lengths.
In his next race Gabrial was beaten 3.25 lengths by Farhh.

That puts Camelot 0.5 lengths in front of Farhh.

Plus Camelot came from last to first in the 2000 Guineas and it was his first run of the season so could have a lot more in the tank while Hermival, Gabrial and Farhh fit and were all beaten so that is their form.

It isn't me Wickedt. It is in the form book. I am just printing what is in the form book.

Summary to date:

We have AOB saying Camelot is better than St Nicholas Abbey and Ruler of the World.
We have Camelot beating St Nicholas Abbey the only time they met.
We have St Nicholas Abbey finishing alongside Farhh.
We have St Nicholas Abbey finishing alongside Cirrus des Aigles
We have CDA finishing alongside Farhh.
And we have Ruler of the World finishing next to Farhh and CDA.
We have form book saying Camelot is better than Farhh over a mile. (not even Camelot's trip).

So it looks like AOB is right that Camelot, at his best, was at least better than St Nicholas Abbey and Ruler of the World.

So tell me Wichedt. Why is the Racing Post filled with pages and pages of form? Why do they print and sell form books? Why do they show recordings of races and print trainers statements?
When a horse is gambled on the first thing they do is look at his previous form?

What do you go by when backing horses? Horoscope or pin.

AT if that is what you think I will leave you with that one.

AT it doesn't matter what I think. The facts are that Camelot did beat St Nicholas Abbey the only time they met. The facts are that Camelot was 2/1f and St Nicholas Abbey was 14/1 for that race. The facts are that AOB has stated Camelot was the best horse he had trained and that included St Nicholas Abbey. The facts are that Camelot won three classics and St Nic won none.

It doesn't matter what I think all I have done is ask you to show me the facts that Farhh and St nic are better than Camelot. Not your opinion, not my opinion, not Sin's opinion etc. Show me the facts.

Wickedt can you not fooking read???? It's form the form book and from AOB. I never wrote the form book and I never made the statements. You cannot be that naive, can you? And you wonder why the organisations get away with so much?

AT I have no idea. I am quite happy to think they are equal. The same way I am quite happy to think St Nic and Farhh are equal. The same way I think St Nic and CDA are equal. The same way I think Ruler of the World and St Nic there is not much between them.

Would I have a bet based upon that form line alone? No I wouldn't. Down the field form can be unreliable but I have not listed that form line on its own. It is backed up by AOB's comments. Not mine.

Where you fall down every time brig is that you think what is in the formbook is gospel, the measure of that horse's ability and must be taken literally. You use selective formlines to back up your lazy and poorly informed views. What AOB says is absolutely irrelevant. For breeding purposes he hypes up every decent looking 3yo colt and then makes excuses when their bubbles burst. Over 10 or 12f on good ground, St Nic would have eaten Camelot. You have no credibility whatsoever and every time you post something like this:

"In the 2000 Guineas Camelot beat Hermival by 2.5 lengths.
In his next race Hermival beat Gabrial by 1.25 lengths.
In his next race Gabrial was beaten 3.25 lengths by Farhh. "


You further reiterate what a complete embarrassment you are. I think it's like something trying desperately to fit in but they are just so out of their league.

Let me get this clear Wickedt. You haven't any evidence that Farhh is better than Camelot except your opinion. Is that right?
You also think that I should only listen to the fact that YOU think Farhh is better than Camelot and that I should totally ignore what AOB says about it? Is that right?

And the fact that when I don't have an opinion about something I refer to the form book and also what the horses trainer has said makes me an amateur, clueless, need praying for, an embarrassment, out of my league, beyond help, a poor gambler, should seek help and clueless. Is that right?

No brig you used the 2012 Arc form to demonstrate what you believed to be the merits of the 2. Take away that race and your argument falls apart.

So do you think they ran to true form in the 2012 Arc? Unless you do everything you've posted above is a nonsense.

Farhh beat Mukhadram by several lengths in the Champions Stakes. Earlier in the season Muk beat Camelot lengths in the PoW. To make things even simpler it was the same course and distance plus they were level weights. Easy game this.

St Nic was an unlucky 2nd and Camelot beat him when they met in the Arc in his next race. So it is quite reasonable to think he would have beaten St Nic, Farhh and Twice Over

Camelot was 2/1f and St Nic was 14/1 for the Arc and it was the only time they met. So it is not inconceivable that Camelot would have won the Juddmonte.
is what I wrote.

AT I used the terms 'quite reasonable to think' and 'not inconceivable'. Are you telling me that if St Nic had beaten Camelot you would not be using that to support your position? Are you?

I have no idea who is the best of the two. St Nic was my favourite of the two but with the Arc result and AOB's comments and the ratings  I have to accept there is probably not much between them. It may be clueless thinking that but so what. None are racing now so will not be involved in my betting. 

AT I think you will find Camelot never regained his form after his life threatening colic operation. And I think Mukhadram hated the ground at Ascot. It's good to see someone else who is clueless enough to use the form book. Albeit badly.

No we are getting back on track now HC. Thanks to AT.

You see I think St Nic is equal to Farhh. Farhh easily beat Mukhadram in the Champion Stakes. And according to AOB Australia is better than St Nic. So with Mukhadram being the only real danger to Australia in the Juddmonte surely it is only a matter of how far.

Why do you have to spoil it AT?
The form line I submitted was where in the 2000 Gns Hermeval and Camelot ran to their form. In the SJP where Hermeval and Gabrial ran to their form and in the Sussex Stakes where Farhh and Gabrial ran to their form. You come up with a race where Mukhadram NEVER ran to his form. And I am the clown. Wake up ffs.

You then need to look at the form achieved by the two horses under optimum conditions. Camelot never recorded one performance that would have been 120+ (ratings are irrelevant to me, the subsequent form let down is not accounted for), St Nic produced several 120+ performances. As did Farrh. Camelot was a Group 2 animal at his best.

Wickedt as a stand alone piece of form you are right. I have already said that. But when you add the betting and AOB's comments to the race result I don't think it is unreasonable to think Camelot is at least as good as St Nic.
You see Wickedt the last comment is your opinion. I won't do what you do and insult you for having your opinion. I won't call you clueless or a clown who needs praying for simply because you put down your opinion. This is a forum and everyone's opinion is welcome. The fact that I prefer to listen to AOB in this instance is because I know AOB's record and I don't know yours.

Camelot was only favourite because people were clinging on to the hope that he was stretched in the Leger and that he was an oustanding colt who would prove himself over a more favourable trip. He was the 2000 Guineas and Derby winner (although they were awful races). The betting means nothing in this debate.

AOB's comments are also as useless. Brig you know full well O'Brien hypes up horse after horse for breeding purposes. Why you continue to ignore this I do not know.

If you look at what the horses achieved, who they beat and were beaten by under their optimum conditions, you will conclude without fail that St Nic was a far superior horse to Camelot.

And then there's your way of thinking... Laugh

The betting means nothing in this debate.  Oh dear.
AOB's comments are also as useless.        Oh dear.

So why did he not hype St Nicholas Abbey? If, as you say, he hypes all of his horses and his form was so much better, according to you, then why not say St Nic is at least as good as Camelot surely that would give him two bites of the cherry? But then perhaps he couldn't say that because he didn't believe St Nic was as good as Camelot.

My way of thinking is I don't know and I'm not prepared to even think about knocking a horse a liked just to prove something completely pointless. So I am prepared to say they are about equal.
By:

When: 10 Aug 14 14:33
He did hype up St Nic. Camelot came after, and at a time when St Nic hadnt won any classics. So why would he then hype up St Nic or say he's as good as or better than Camelot? He wouldn't.

Why is the betting relevant? Because the market sent off the Derby and Guineas winner as fav for the Arc, who was in receipt of weight from older horses, that means that Camelot must be better or equal to St Nic?

Still, as I said:

"If you look at what the horses achieved, who they beat and were beaten by under their optimum conditions, you will conclude without fail that St Nic was a far superior horse to Camelot."

You cannot provide me with a piece of Camelot's form that matches or better achievements by St Nic or Farrh. Fact.
