If Frankel excels at 10f (as I think he will), why don't connections go for the ultimate test of the Arc? This would be the best meeting place of both Frankel and Camelot, that could fit comfortably into both horses' schedules.(This assumes of course that Frankel stays 10f in a manner to suggest he might get the Arc distance. After all, winning the Arc would be much more exciting for both us and for Frankel than winning the Champion.) All the other possibilities seem to me to compromise Camelot's chance of achieving the Triple Crown which I believe is a goal worth going for.

I agree though that the Eclipse would be a much better race to go for with Camelot than the Irish Derby. If Ballydoyle didn't have SYT for that race, we might actually get to see it.
