It's interesting how pundits are bagging the horse because it has six straight defeats as favourite. Most horses go 6 or more runs between wins so Excellerator is not out of the ordinary. The punters/media who dictate the prices are the ones who should take a look at themselves.
I wouldn't mind owning Excellerator ... even during this "poor preperation" he's managed two black type placings and about $50K prizemoney.
