Further Stakes success for Exceed And Excel

Wild Geese wins Queen Elizabeth Cup in Singapore

Exceed And Excel five-year-old Wild Geese (registered as Curia Regis) became the 82nd Stakes winner for his sire with an all-the-way win in the Queen Elizabeth Cup (a local G2 event) in Singapore, April 27.

Ridden positively out of the barriers, Wild Geese assumed control of the 10f race early and was never headed, fighting off several challengers in the straight to win by half-a-length.

Bred by Darley, Wild Geese is out of Machiavellian mare Court Lane, dam of G1 Middle Park Stakes runner-up Holborn.

Exceed And Excel is the sire of 17 Stakes horses in 2014 including G1 Blue Diamond Stakes winner Earthquake as well as Amber Sky, winner of the G1 Al Quoz Sprint on Dubai World Cup night in track-record time.
