Camelot and Dabirsim joint top two-year-olds

CAMELOT and Dabirsim were ranked the joint top two-year-olds of last season following the unveiling of the European Classifications in London this afternoon.

Aidan O’Brien’s Camelot, hot favourite for the Investec Derby after sweeping away with the Racing Post Trophy, was given a rating of 119 by the handicappers of Europe and could not be split from Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Dabirsim, who is trained in France by Christophe Ferland.

They fall far short of what was considered quite a controversial decision a year earlier, when Frankel and Dream Ahead topped the standings on 126, and are the lowest-rated champion juveniles since the European classifications began in 1985.
