St. Leger Odds & Entries

'The Legend of Camelot' - Can the Derby winner land the Triple Crown?

The St. Leger entries have been announced and with a potential Triple Crown success on the horizon they have obviously been met with great interest.

I don’t think from looking through them that there are any surprises in there, with all the main protagonists entered, but it does look like Aidan O’Brien is taking no chances having entered a massive eleven out of the thirty-six currently engaged.

The O’Brien contingent consists of Astrology, Athens, Chamonix, Chicago, David Livingston, Ernest Hemingway, Father Of Science, Imperial Monarch, Offer, Warwick Avenue and of course the focal point of the race Camelot.

Leger specialist John Gosden also has a strong if not as vast team heading in to the race he’s won for the last two years; he could saddle Dartford, Michelangelo, Shantaram, Thought Worthy and Irish Oaks winner Great Heavens.

Other potential contenders of note include John Oxx’s Call To Battle, Royal Ascot winner Energizer – who has recently joined Godolphin, Derby runner-up Main Sequence and Thomas Chippendale & the horse who will forever be known as “Frankel’s brother” Noble Mission for Sir Henry Cecil.

A lot can happen between now and 15th September, but hopefully most, if not all, of the big names make it to the final English Classic of the season to ensure that if Camelot does make history by becoming the first horse to land the Triple Crown in over forty years he does so by beating the best around.
