Exceed And Excel has claimed another two-year-old Stakes race after Armed For Action maintained her unbeaten status when claiming the Queen Adelaide Stakes over 1050m at Morphetville.
Armed For Action jumped straight to the front from where jockey Daniel Moor was able to dictate the speed of the race, with the filly clearing out to win comfortably by three-lengths in a time of 1:2.7.
Bred by Milburn Park and trained by Anthony Freedman in Victoria, Armed For Action is from a Timber Country mare Brave And Bold and becomes the sires fifth individual Stakes winner this season. Exceed And Excel was the leading sire of juveniles last season, a crop that consisted of the dual G1 winning colt Helmet and the sire looks to have an equally exciting crop coming through this season with the likes of the unbeaten Applegate, Popular Acclaim and now Armed For Action.
Exceed And Excel will be represented by 11 yearlings at the Inglis Premier yearling sale at the end of this month and then a further 13 lots at the Inglis Easter sale. Exceed And Excel yearlings have been keenly sort after and averaged an impressive $188,000 at the Magic Millions in January. Some of the yearlings offered at Easter will include a colt out of G1-winning mare River Dove, G2 winner Innovation Girl and a filly from G3 winner Galapagos Girl. At the Premier sale in Melbourne, on offer will be a filly out of G3-winning mare Legally Bay (Lot 21) and a colt out of Shoot The Stars who is a half-sister to Carnegie Express (Lot 221) amongst others.
