O'Brien 'delighted' after Camelot shines in workout
Aidan O'Brien has declared that Camelot is in ideal shape for his tilt at racing's Triple Crown after seeing the Derby winner breeze through a racecourse gallop at Leopardstown.
Camelot impressed connections in a workout ahead of next month's meeting at Doncaster, where Camelot will bid to emulate Nijinsky in 1970 by adding the St Leger to his previous wins at the 2000 Guineas and the Derby.
With Joseph O'Brien in the saddle, Camelot was content to sit behind stablemates Chamonix and Fame And Glory before cruising clear to finish a dozen lengths clear.
"They went a nice solid bit of work, it was an even pace, and you'd have to be happy with him [Camelot]," O'Brien said. "He's done very well physically, he's made like a miler and you can see that he has a bit of a tummy on him.
"It's a long time from The Curragh [his most recent outing] to Doncaster so he needed to go somewhere and it was easier to come here than to go to somewhere like York. It's been a good while since he ran, he has had a break, so we're delighted."
