Exceed And Excel joins elite company with 200th stakes winner

By The ANZ Bloodstock News Team

Darley’s Exceed And Excel (Danehill) became the first Australian-bred stallion to reach the landmark of 200 individual stakes winners when his daughter Natural Colour (4 f ex Safiyna by Sinndar) won the Luther Burbank Handicap (Listed, 8.5f) at Santa Rosa in the US on Saturday.

Exceed And Excel is just the sixth stallion to reach the milestone after Danehill (Danzig), Galileo (Sadler’s Wells), Sadler’s Wells (Northern Dancer), Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) and former Vinery Stud shuttler More Than Ready (Southern Halo).

The British-bred Natural Colour is out of Safiyna (Sinndar), herself a half-sister to Prix d’Ispahan (Gr 1, 1800m) winner Sageburg (Johannesburg) and a daughter of Group 2 winner Sage Et Jolie (Linamix). Exceed And Excel, who has 16 individual Group 1 winners, will stand his 19th season for a fee of $132,000 (inc GST) at Kelvinside Stud this year.
