    The same Highclere syndicate owns Vow and Bonfire. That's got to have been an inside job.

    Bonfire won cosily in the Dante and now a strong contender for the Derby, but one wonders how he'll handle the track at Epsom.

    Simply couldn't back Ernest Hemimgway in the Dante, won a maiden at Dundalk on it's only start. Overhyped O'Brien horse as usual.

    Was the ridiculous gallop young Joseph O'Brien went, to ensure there all knackered before they take on Camelot? It seemed that way to me :biggrin:

    Is he a Derby winner?

    BONFIRE, CAMELOT and VOW were all prepped for the yearling sales by Highclere Stud in 2010.

    I can't see it. He'll come on for the race, but everything about today suited him. He travels well but he just lacks a gear imo.
