Selling Information
  • Finished 2nd in the prestigious G1 Australian Oaks over 2400m at Randwick behind star filly Bonneval, defeating quality fillies like Lasqueti Spirit, Nurse Kitchen and Lubiton.
  • Had the likes of Lubiton, Elle Lou, Imposing Lass, Princess Posh and Zestful in arrears when 2nd, beaten just 0.5 lengths in the G3 Tibbie Stakes over 1400m as an older mare.
  • The likes of Chautauqua, Tagaloa, Viddora and Brave Smash are amongst the top-class horses produced from mares that won at 1600m.
  • Offered carrying one of 95 pregnancies to Champion sire Exceed and Excel, who is the sire of 15 G1 winners including this season’s star 3YO trio Bivouac, Exceedance and Microphone.
  • Exceed And Excel yearlings are averaging over $353,000 in 2020, with sales including his most expensive ever yearling at $1,800,000.
  • “She was a highly-talented race filly who, at her best, was competitive with some extremely good fillies in real-deal races. Assessment of her form and perousal of the horses that she beat confirms that. It’s an active family, with the dam having a 2YO and 3YO to run by Iffraaj as well as a yearling by Rip Van Winkle. She is a good-looking mare and first covers don’t come any better than Exceed And Excel.” - Glenn Burrows, Willow Park Stud
