Tbh Col, I thought he became unbalanced (twice in the closing stages) in the Irish Derby, and again in the closing stages of the Leger. I'd be more inclined to blame his rider's ineptitude for both those instances, rather than blame the horse.

ps. Don't remember who said it, but Camelot reportedly took 2f to pull up after the Irish Derby, which - along with the way he regained momentum, twice after becoming unbalanced, is hardly the sign of a tired horse.
