Racing: Camelot seeks to emulate legend Nijinsky CAMELOT faces his date with destiny in the Ladbrokes St Leger today as he seeks to end a 42-year wait and emulate the legendary Nijinsky in claiming the coveted Triple Crown. The holy grail of 2000 Guineas, Derby and Leger was last won by Lester Piggott's mount in 1970, the first time it had been done since Bahram in 1935. Only 15 horses have completed the treble in Turf history - although Pommern, Gay Crusader and Gainsborough are not generally recognised as their races were all run at Newmarket during the First World War and all three won a race known as the September Stakes, which was a replacement for the Leger. No horse has tried the feat since the Vincent O'Brien-trained Nijinsky, who, like the unbeaten Camelot, was housed at Ballydoyle. Camelot has not run since winning the Irish Derby at the Curragh, purposely being given a break with history in mind by Aidan O'Brien and his powerful Coolmore owners. It also promises to be a landmark day for O'Brien at Doncaster from another point of view, as victory in the Leger would mean he would become the first to train all five British Classic winners in a single season. Aside from Camelot, the O'Brien-trained Homecoming Queen won the 1000 Guineas while Was landed the Investec Oaks. O'Brien said: "We've had great horses all through the years and you always hope something different will come along again and then when he [Camelot] arrived it was just incredible. He's an incredible talent really. One of those very special horses, one that only comes once in a lifetime. I thought it [winning the 2000 Guineas] was impossible really, I have to take my hat off to the lads for trying it. He went there doing half-speeds and the lads were prepared to let him go there, it was a big call and he had an awful lot to lose. It was one of those special days. In the Irish Derby I was very worried as everything was against him - the ground and he hadn't worked on grass since Epsom, so he hadn't done a lot of work in that kind of ground. We gave him a good break and his weight started to increase, which was unusual. He will be heavier for the Leger than he has been going into any other race but with three-year-olds they often don't change until later in the year. His body is built more like a miler in that he is round and strong as opposed to angular and lean. That is a little thing that would be in your mind. We are in the zone where you don't want to talk about things - you just want to keep everything smooth We think Camelot is like no other horse. Who knows what is going to happen - we don't take anything for granted. We will do our very best - it's all we can do. Camelot, a son of Montjeu, will be going into the unknown trip-wise, with O'Brien conceding it is the ultimate test. He said: "We [O'Brien and his wife Annemarie] breed horses - you don't look for just speed anymore, it is class you look for [in stallions]. They have to have speed, stamina and courage - they are the three most important things when you are breeding horses. The Leger will expose the last two. To be going for the Triple Crown is something I could never dream of happening. Extreme distance can break hearts. The Triple Crown is the full test of the three-year-old. Making the day even more special is the fact O'Brien's son Joseph, still only a 19-year-old, will ride. O'Brien junior said: "He is a jockey's dream to ride as everything comes naturally to him. You let him come alive in your hands and he is actually very easy to ride. He is just unbelievable and is not like any other horse I have ever ridden. The Triple Crown would be a dream come true. I've seen the videos of Nijinsky and Lester Piggott and if Camelot could emulate that it would be unbelievable. Twelve months on from his honourable second in the English St Leger it is time for Brown Panther to head to the Curragh for a crack at the Gain Horse Feeds-sponsored Irish version. Tom Dascombe's colt, who is owned by the trainer's landlords Michael Owen and Andrew Black, was beaten three lengths by Masked Marvel on Town Moor and another decent run is expected in Kildare today. Likely favourite will be O'Brien's Fame And Glory. John Gosden sends over Aiken, while Christophe Lemaire flies over from France to partner the Aga Khan's Hartani, whose winning run was ended by Doncaster-bound Ursa Major in the Irish Leger trial. Meanwhile, former Scotland manager Alex McLeish will carry out the draw for this year's William Hill Ayr Gold Cup at the racecourse on Thursday. The draw will be attended by the trainers and connections of all 27 runners in the race, and each representative will have 60 seconds to pick their stall as McLeish draws their horse's name out of the hat. 1.50 St Moritz (nap) 2.25 Dundonnell 3.00 Picabo 3.40 Camelot 4.15 Foxtrot Romeo 4.50 Ajmany 5.20 Viking Storm Bath 1.45 Rebecca Romero 2.15 Alcando 2.50 Dr Yes 3.30 Berwin 4.05 The Wonga Coup 4.40 Enriching 5.10 Bazart 5.40 Yanza 1.40 Beau Mistral 2.10 Uppercut 2.40 Modun 3.20 Uncle Bernie 3.55 Time And Place 4.30 Quick Bite 5.05 Miss Cap Estel 5.35 Sir Trevor Newcastle 1.30 Icy Reply 2.00 Dandarrell 2.35 Ingleby Angel 3.10 Zomerlust 3.50 Fayr Fall 4.25 Celtic Step 4.55 Mistress Of Rome 5.25 On The High Tops 5.50 Kaylee 6.20 Positively 6.50 Ashkalara 7.20 Valdaw 7.50 Beam Of Light 8.20 User Name 8.50 Looks Like Rain 9.20 Don Libre 2.10 Saint Irene 2.40 Barista 3.10 Outbid 3.40 Bajan Bear 4.10 Iguacu 4.40 Miracle Maid 5.10 Josie's Dream 5.40 Inffiraaj Ffos Las 2.30 Jillnextdoor 3.00 Sarahmanda 3.30 Clean Blow 4.00 Fillionaire (nap) 4.30 Pearl Blue 5.00 Finesse 5.30 Spic "n Span
