However, it's not something he is worrying aboutnow. We have said we will look at it with my other partners and with Danny and Ollie [jockey Damien Oliver] at the end of this spring preparation which I expect to be on the 3rd of November, not Cox Plate Day," he said. But if the horse was up to it And, with two group 1 wins in his seven starts, he is building up an imposing record.
Greg Carpenter, the man who allots the Cup weights where Russian Camelot has He has the potential to be one of the superstars of the modern era," he said. For whatever reason I think of So You Think and the way he dominated the weight-for-age races. He's just a superior horse. If he can beat them now and he's only just turned three, imagine what he can do in six months or year's time. Russian Camelot's trainer has long held him in high regard, and the Irish-bred is one of eight staying types purchased in Europe as yearlings by O'Brien and his owners in a project detailed in TDN last Wednesday.

Camelot was a picture of composure but had the right amount of nervous energy to peak on big race days, a perfectly balanced animal. Jockey John Allen was forced to quarantine for two weeks ahead of his winning ride on Russian Camelot, his ninth career group 1 victory. It was a ninth career group 1 win for jockey John Allen, who was forced into quarantine for two weeks in Adelaide after arriving from Melbourne, and will be forced into isolation for another two weeks when he returns.
Meanwhile, at Caulfield, So Si Bon collected his second straight win in comfortable fashion, proving a class above his rivals in the Bert Bryant Handicap, while News Girl improved her sprinting record, winning the open metre handicap.
