Excel on course for Mile assault24th October 2012
Excelebration will aim to maintain the good record of European challengers in the Breeders' Cup Mile on Saturday week.
Aidan O'Brien's four-year-old has stepped out of Frankel's shadow in no uncertain terms and, apart from his debut when with Marco Botti, he has won every race he has contested that has not featured the world's greatest racehorse.
On Saturday he arguably put up a career-best display in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and he is likely to be a warm favourite at Santa Anita.
