Here's a story about it, with a nice little picture of him in the last few strides of the gallop.

It's Stradbroke day! The track's officially rated Slow, which Xcellent won't like at all, but it looks like the sun is out so hopefully it'll dry out a bit during the afternoon.

He's currently at 17-1. Go X!

Maybe he won't like it but he's a miracle so anything can happen.

GO XCELLENT!

I guess he didn't win but how did he do?

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.
