HOT SEND OFF FOR THE VALLEY

It was fitting that 2013 Cox Plate winning trainer Danny O'Brien was able to lead in a winner at the final Moonee Valley carnival on Friday night at the iconic track as we know it. 

The win was courtesy of Hot Too Go, a four-year-old gelding that has shown much promise during this career. 

"He has been a consistent horse that deserved this win, and it is not lost of me the significance of being able to win again at this track and over the iconic 2040m distance as well," O'Brien said. 

"I starting feeling nostalgic this morning when we came here and did the final track gallops that will be ever had on this track. So I am very pleased for our owners to experience a win here on the last weekend."

"Hopefully we can get another winner tomorrow on Cox Plate day."

The victory was Hot Too Go's second of hos 16 career starts which has also included seven placings and a start in the Victoria Derby last year.
