Trainer John Moore has indicated that international galloper Dan Excel is in doubt for tomorrow’s run in the Weekend Hussler Stakes which has put doubt around his Cox Plate campaign.
This has been brought about due to a throat infection the horse coped a couple of weeks ago.

John Moore told @SkySportsRadio1 if Dan Excel doesn't line up tomorrow at Caulfield a start in the Cox Plate would be very unlikely. @MVRC1
