Excel Stride wasnt at his best early in his prep and went down or barely hang on to win a few but McCarthy had him peaking for the ID and again for today. My tip is that he will become a millionaire pacer today.
If so, then it will be a very well deserved reward for Emilio and his wife. His financial input has been mammoth over the last few years in particular and we would have all been much worse off without him.
I will be happy if Excel Stride rewards him today.
