Exceed And Excel recorded a new Stakes winner on 27 August when his son Windfast took the Listed Hopeful Stakes, run over six furlongs at Newmarket’s July course.
Always close to the pace, Brian Meehan’s charge took the lead inside the final furlong and kept to his task well to win by a neck.
Bred by Airlie Stud, Windfast is out of Fair Sailing (Docksider), a half-sister to G1 winner White Muzzle and Elfaslah, dam of Almutawakel.
Exceed And Excel has now sired 14 individual Stakes winners so far this year, including G1 winner Flamberge plus last weekend’s Group-winning juvenile Hit The Bid.
