Excelorada wins again
Excelorada proved too strong for his rivals at the finish of the Listed Summer Scorcher over five furlongs at Ascot on New Years Day, making it back-to-back Stakes wins for the five-year-old son of Exceed And Excel.
Settled in third place along the inside to the home turn, Excelorada came out to challenge once heads had turned for home and he quickened up in good style to run to the front a furlong out and then go clear.
Excelorada was bred by Erinvale Investments Pty Ltd and is out of the Zeditave mare Alborada, a three-quarter-sister to Stakes-winning sprinters The Heavyweight and Zedrich.
The sire of four G1 winners including Excelebration and Helmet, who covered his first southern hemisphere book of mares this season, Excelorada is one of 58th Stakes winners worldwide for Exceed And Excel.
