Agree completely.
Fanciful to imagine him running his first 10f race over the stiffest test he's likely to face. Despite all the outlandish talk of Derbys and Arcs, the fact remains that connections have been signally reluctant to try the horse over further than 1m until halfway through his 4yo season.

Re Camelot. Though I would love to see him in the St Leger, it's entirely reasonable to suppose that race bottomed Nijinsky, & had he not run it, he may well have won the Arc and the Champion, retired undefeated, and thus held in the same regard as Seabird.
