Exceed And Excel colt rockets to Golden Slipper favouritism
Exciting Exceed And Excel colt Headwater remained unbeaten and rocketed to the top of Golden Slipper betting with a dominant win in the G2 Silver Slipper Stakes at Rosehill, February 21.
A debut winner at Moonee Valley in December, Headwater was resuming from a short break and after jumping straight to the front gave nothing else a chance, careering away from the opposition in the straight to record an impressive victory.
Bred by Cressfield, Headwater is out of G1 Oakleigh Plate winner River Dove and is a full brother to Stakes-performed filly Fare Well.
Exceed And Excel is the sire of nine G1 winners including 2013 Golden Slipper winner Overreach, four-time G1 winner Guelph and record-breaking Caulfield Guineas winner Helmet. Exceed And Excel is standing at Kildangan Stud at a fee of €40,000 (October 1st SLF) alongside Helmet who stands at €10,000 (October 1st SLF).
