Does Camelot Have A Disadvantage?
Is Camelot at a disadvantage with Joseph O'Brien on board?, i think maybe he is. Although there are only 9 runners in the race, the only way Camelot will win is, if he is good enough, because i really am not sure Joseph will help too much up there.
I have had a look at a couple of his recent G1 races 6 of them in total, 2 of the races he has won 2000gns with Camelot 13/8f and the Irish 2000gns on Power who won at 5/1.
The other races have been unusual the 1000 gns. He was on board Maybe who was 13/8f, and although i have strong views on that race, Maybe only managed 3rd, and was beaten by stable mate Homecoming Queen who was 25/1
Yesterdays Oaks, he was riding Maybe again who was 10/3, and she managed 5th while her stable mate Was, won at 20/1.
The Irish 1000 gns he was on the English 1000gns winner Homecoming Queen, who on paper, should of won this race, but she only managed 4th that day, her stablemate Ishvana managed a much more credible 2nd at 33/1,
But the race that really made me wonder his abilities as a jockey was when odds on favourite St Nicholas Abbey at 2/5 should of won his race High Chaparral with ease, but was beaten into 2nd by stablemate Windsor Palace who was a massive 80/1. That day Joseph and Aiden were taken in to speak to the Stewards, because they were not convinced by the running. And neither was i, but as the stories were the same and nothing was found to be amiss.
So today, if my theory is correct then Astrology at 8/1 should come in front of Camelot. But there is no denying Camelot is an impressive horse, and will take a lot of beating, but i still cannot stop thinking that he has a disadvantage.
Also todays Diamond Jubilee - St Nicholas Abbey is 4/6f, although i cannot imagine stablemate Robin Hood 150/1 winning this race, i think that he is a very risky bet, and Beaten Up, could be the one to beat.
