Flamberge wins G3 Standish Handicap at Flemington
After enjoying a spectacular year in 2013 with 24 individual Stakes winners, Exceed And Excel has kicked off 2014 in similar style with his four-year-old son Flamberge winning the G3 Standish Handicap over 6f at Flemington, January 1.
Flamberge, who raced handy to the speed and proved far too strong, becomes the 77th Stakes winner for Exceed And Excel.
A full-brother to Listed winner and G1-placed mare Curtana, Flamberge is out of G3-winning Blazing Sword mare Razor Blade who is also the dam of G2-winning and G1-placed sprinter Sunburnt Land.
A homebred for David and Jenny Moodie’s Contract Racing Pty Ltd Flamberge has a two-year-old half-brother by Medaglia d'Oro called Durendal and a yearling half-brother by Hard Spun.
Exceed And Excel is the sire of seven G1 winners including Guelph, Outstrip, Overreach and Excelebration. He will stand the coming breeding season at Dalham Hall at a fee of £35,000 alongside his triple G1-winning son Helmet who will stand at a fee of £8,000.
