Exceed And Excel, renowned for siring talented juveniles, recorded his ninth 2yo Black type performer of 2012 on 3 November when Pure Excellence took the Listed Montrose Fillies’ Stakes, run over a mile at Newmarket.
Always prominent under Joe Fanning, the Mark Johnston-trained filly dug in determinedly close to home, outbattling Desert Image to win by a length and a half.
Bred by Peter Harris, Pure Excellence is out of the winning Spectrum mare Albavilla, herself a half-sister to Listed winner and G2 performer Barolo.
Exceed And Excel has now sired five Stakes-winning juveniles in 2012, including G2 Richmond Stakes winner Heavy Metal, plus G3 Molecomb and Cornwallis Stakes winner Bungle Inthejungle.
