Moonee Valley Racing Club Chairman, Bob Scarborough, has issued an official invitation to Aidan O’Brien for his outstanding colt to compete in the Cox Plate.

He would be coming off a last start win in the Group 1 Secretariat Stakes, run over 2000 metres, at Arlington Park in Chicago.

Moonee Valley should not hold any fears for him as it has a longer run to the first turn than Arlington Park.

All of his three wins have been at 2000 metres, the Cox Plate distance looks ideal, he is capable of taking up a handy position and does have a good turn of foot at the end of his races.

The stake money for the race also looks attractive, nearly three times as much as his total stake earnings to date.
