This champion racehorse deserves his own thread since he will be winning multiple group 1's this season.
Starts his season off at the Curragh in a group 3 over 7f on sunday,it will be his first start since joining ballydoyle,his recent work has been very good and he is ready to go,should be a pretty straightforward race,even giving weight all round and will be odds on i would imagine

What makes him a 'champion' please?

Is he free money on Sunday iyo?
|
|
By:
Not sure how he can be a champion having his @rse kicked 3 times by the wonder horse.
That said he is within four or so lengths of Frankel which would have made him a champion miler in the majority of yrs. |

By:
Come the end of this flat season you will see why he will be referred as a 'champion' as he will bag another handful of group 1's to add to the one he won last season and he will do most of it with ease

Cant see the season going by without him bumping into Frankel @ a mile where he will get his @ss whooped once again.
Even if frankel then goes up in trip & Excelebration trounces everything else @ a mile he still aint a champion imo. |

By:
An excellent horse but a champion is a horse who proves himself the best around. He clearly hasn't done that.
|

By:
Given who owns and trains him, i hope he gets stuffed.

By:
Absolute class today won't have been 100% but still showed how good he is. Look forward to seeing where he may go next.
|

By:
Got to Lockinge surely with or without Frankel.
His only chance to grab the superstars scalp. |

Aiden coming up on ATR now.
So look listen & let Aiden confirm he a definite possible maybe! |

'' Listen this one has so much speed the July cup could be an option''

no way will he run over 6f again,far to classy to be winning crappy sprint races,8f and even a step up to 10f is in his range,bring on the group 1's and bring on Frankel again!

Get real no chance of em running this @ 10F.

That told noone anything today except for the fact that he is alive and well, the form of these listed and Group 3 races in Ireland can often amount to very little. SYT was doing the same thing last season and while this lad is clearly a very good horse, I'd be dissapointed if there isn't something among the classic generation to do him when Frankel steps up, ordinary and all as that crop might well be. They'll campaign him Lockinge, Queen Anne, Foret/QE2, Breeders Cup mile I'd guess. Can't see them going the sprint route as they look to have Nephrite for that now anyway, not that it was probably ever on their agenda.

Should win a fair few decent races over a mile this season.
|
|
By:
prob Queen Anne anyway,they always target this meeting
|
|
By:
personally form man am with you all the way...this is a top class colt...he isn't an exceptional one (frankel is exceptional) but has the scope to win lots of grade 1 races and I for one have been looking forward to him all winter...he didn't disappoint at the curragh admittedly against mediocre opposition (just a prep) but will take some beating when frankel is not in the line up this season imo...
|

By:
Difficult to see too many profitable angles with this horse, if he encounters Frankel he's unlikley to
win and in races where he doesn't meet Frankel he's likely to go off at very short odds. |
|
By:
there is always the w/o fav market when against frankel,was a very tasty 2/1 in the QE2 in that market and if strong suit and another nice type shows up in the lockinge,you still might get a bit of odds against in that market,but if frankel does not show up in races,there is nothing else in europe that can touch excelebration over a mile
|
|
By:
Excelebrations official rating is 13 lb above Strong Suits which will probably mean a big difference in their prices.
IMO both the above horses optimum trip is 7f and though Excelebration seems to see the mile out fine I'm not convinced that Strong Suit will see out a fast run mile in a Group One. |
|
By:
true,but he is still the horse that will boost Excels price the most if running
|
|
By:
Absolutely Hammer the 7/2 each way tomorrow and absolutely steam into Excelebration w/o the fav,if ever the words FREE MONEY were appropriate!
even young mug joey cant muck this one up, |
|
By:
Good call; he is a really high class colt. Surely they won't keep on banging his head of the brick wall that is Frankel.
|
|
By:
Lets hope Frankel steps up in trip now and starts destroying the 10f horses instead,starting in the Prince of Wales,this would leave Excelebration free to deliver in the mile races
