Flat Profile - Camelot


Camelot 4 y bc Montjeu- Tarfah    (Cod, Matin, Peej, Neil, Tony)
Last season top 3 year old who just failed to land the hallowed triple crown, he has won 5 of his 7 starts. He made a winning debut at Leopardstown in July 2011, beating All Approved by 2l over 1m, and followed up at Doncaster in October, taking the 1m Group 1 Racing Post Trophy by 2 ¼ l from Zip Top. He reappeared at Newmarket in the 2000 guineas where he beat French Fifteen a neck, and then went to Epsom, where he won the Derby by 5l from Main Sequence. He took the Irish Derby by 2l from Boen To Sea, then attempted the triple crown at Doncastter but came up short, being beaten ¾ l by Encke. He finished with a rather tame 7th in the Arc at Longchamp, beaten 12 ½ l behind Slemia. He can be forgiven that and should prove a force in all the big races this season.
