A dramatic lead-up to Australia’s greatest Weight-For-Age race, followed by the most dominant, stunning performance by a thoroughbred in the modern era. Champion hoop James McDonald’s quest for a 100th Group 1 win was in limbo after being thrown off Cox Plate hopeful Via Sistina. Four days later, as the champion mare obliterated the Moonee Valley track record, J-Mac rose from the saddle with more than 60 metres left to run… and the gap to his rivals widened. Nearly nine lengths quicker than any other Cox Plate winner in more than a century of the race, what began in near disaster ended in glory. The Valley has never seen anything like it.
