A couple of hours before Makybe Diva ran her great race, a horse in New Zealand by the name of EXCELLENT had the experts and punters going wild, after it missed the kick badly and came from last to absolutely blitz its opposition. To see two races like that on the same day in both countries, means that it must be Spring...perfect fodder for the media...

watch out for Excellent when it arrives...could be the next big thing to come out of New Zealand since Sunline, Rough Habit, Horlicks, Kiwi, Bonecrusher ..take your pick...

I'm taking nothing away from Makybe Diva..its record says it all....regardless of the quality of its opposition on Saturday..
