timothy- good point but are you seriously trying to tell me that the two tracks have any other similiarities other than what you highlighted?
Moonee Valley with it's special surface and camber does not suit all horses.
I'm sorry mate but to compare the two is like comparing cheese to chalk.
Hey, I like Xcellent, I believe he may be the next champion in waiting, ready to assume the crown but I have reservations regarding his first run at this track under the immense pressure which this race generates.

Cheers.
