A Derby Day to Remember
The Diamond Jubilee weekend main event saw Aidan O’Brien’s son Joseph take the glory on Camelot, but another of O’Brien’s horses; Astrology ridden by Ryan Moore, took a respectable third and has been performing well this season with a first place at the Dee Stakes when it was also ridden by teenager Joseph O’Brien. The horses which are both three years old have had a terrific season, but they are just two of a stock of stallions that the stable manages. They will be favourites to produce something special for the 2013 Epsom Derby following this year’s performances and the first ever father and son duo to take first place at the Derby.
The Beginning of a Dynasty
Back in 2005 Kieren Fallon rode the Aidan O’Brien trained Gypsy King to victory in the Dee Stakes and in 2001 and 2002 Aiden O’Brien trained Galileo and High Chaparral who rode out winners all for owners Magnier and Tabor and although Smith is a co-owner of Camelot there is a definite pattern emerging at the Epsom Derby. Anyone wishing to place a bet on the 2013 event will do well to keep an eye on this stable.
The Changing Landscape
The beauty of the Epsom Derby is that the early season form of the horses is a very good pressure gauge. This year the O’Brien trained horses have dominated, but 2 years ago it was Khalid Abdulla’s horse which won the race and now his son has bred the winner of the 2012 Epsom Derby. The world of racing may change from day to day, but there are some good constants that make betting on horse racing profitable.
