Exceed And Excel colt Kuroshio proved too fast for his older rivals, leading all of the way in the G2 McEwen Stakes over 5f at Moonee Valley, September 14.
A multiple Stakes winner as a juvenile, Kuroshio was having his second start as a three-year-old and was taking on older horses for the first time in his career.
After jumping a length clear of the field from his outside barrier, jockey Craig Newitt guided Kuroshio down to the rail where he led the field at a solid speed. The colt kicked clear turning for home and went on to defeat G1-winning sprinter Moment Of Change by close to two lengths.
A homebred for Darley, Kuroshio is out of the Gone West mare Arctic Drift and is a full brother to G3 winner Believe ‘N' Succeed and Listed winner Agulhas.
Exceed And Excel is the sire of 29 Group winners including three-time G1 winner and Darley stallion Helmet, and fellow G1 winners Excelebration, Margot Did, Overreach, Guelph and Reward For Effort.
