CAMELOT
A obrien has a monoply field again, i think your right i think it will drift, yesterday i dutched all his runners and got a nice touch on WAS. Since trading i dont really look at the racing tuff no more cards etc, but i was suprised in how weak the Derby runners are this year has racing really taken a dive like thisconvoysur-2 wrote:Im convinced camelot will take a big drift ,why,because of the people being like sheep ,every where i read about it today papers ,time form ,etc,wrong trip etc .

Going by the form Camelot will win this by a Shergar like distance, but Epsom is a Mickey Mouse course in many ways, with cambers and slopes which are not replicated anywhere else and are a far cry from Newmarket. I would not want to bet at the price, but in terms of trading, the horse is so superior I would be very surprised if there were any sustained drift.

It won, but the drift did occur, as more and more money was coming for other runners.
Judicious 100-tick in-play trades(either back-to-lay, or in this case lay-to-back) are the way for newbies with punting skill to go in my view,rather than trying to mess about in the deadly 5 min pre-off zone (which in my view has reached a 'max entropy' state where it's now far too hard for the average guy to win).
You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that 'Camelot' was going to drift, and it's past peformances showed it gets back in the running (hold up performer). You could easily have picked up another 100 ticks with a lay-to-back bet.
Incidentally, the performance of 'Camelot' has been rated as equal to that of 'Sea The Stars':

"INVESTEC DERBY winner Camelot was given a provisional official rating of 124 on Sunday, the same rating achieved by Sea The Stars for his 2009 victory."
