Morawij, a very fast son of Exceed And Excel, landed his first Group race, and fifth Stakes race overall, when landing the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal at Meydan. Quickly away from the stalls in the six furlong contest, he soon led the field at a fast pace before going clear in the straight and holding off the late challenge of Cool Cowboy.
Bred by Dunchurch Lodge Stud, he is out of the G3-placed Sister Moonshine (Piccolo), who has produced two winners from her three runners.
Exceed And Excel sired 26 individual Black type winners in 2016, headed by multiple G1 winner Flamberge and record-breaking juvenile Yalta. He has also started 2017 in blistering form, with multiple G2 winner Championship and last weekends Lingfield Listed scorer Royal Birth heading his four Stakes winners.
Exceed And Excel stands at Kildangan Stud at a fee of €50,000 October 1st SLF.
