The Xcellent one returns.....

[_ed_]

3rd last.

He raced in his usual position, well back in the field, but he didn't accelerate the way he usually does in the wet ground. One day he'll run on a dry track in Australia and then they'll see the real Xcellent.

Okay thanks for telling me and at least he wasn't last.....

It's amazing that he's even back and it's been so long now..... not making excuses for him and I've said before that i really don't throw out races - it is what it is - BUT with the injury and being off for so long? It's okay.

Next time. He's a champion and even if he never wins another race? It can't take away from who he is.

I think he'll win the next one though.

To Xcellent! Cheers.

Thanks for the news. I'd rather hear it here anyway from a friendly voice...

I think he'll win next time too.

It was a good win by the lightweight Snipers Bullet anyway, just ahead of a very game Gold Edition.

Hey ed...

Let me know if you hear anything about our boy.

Thanks!

Apparently they've sent him back home and will aim him at spring racing...so we probably won't see him again until August.

Oh well... at least we got to see him.

Thanks.

And the trainer says his legs are fine, which is what he was most worried about.

They just want to wait for drier tracks and more suitable races for him.
