The big question mark for the unbeaten Montjeu colt,Camelot

was always the one mile of the 2000 Guineas as he looked like a horse that would be more suited to 10 to 12 furlongs

but he came through with flying colours and it is on to the 12 furlong Epsom Derby for him now.

Market Mover...Great Question. I would give the slight nod to Sea The Stars, simply because he was so dominate as a 3yr old, and over came a terrible trip in the ARC to beat some classy horses with an incredible turn of foot. I am very saddened by the loss of both Montjeu and Grand Slam

It's hard to imagine another easier win King George (G1) from a visual standpoint than Montjeu's clearly dominating performance over Fantastic Light and Daliapour. I'd like to get Mick's opinion on who was the better mover and better champion, Montjeu or Sea the Stars?

Montjeu was one of Sadler Wells outstanding sons and it was

sad to hear about his early demise.As well as his success

with derby winners ,like his sire he had some good runners

over the jumps including the 2011 Champion hurdle winner

Hurricane Fly.Let us hope especially his derby winners will

keep his name to the fore for many years to come.
