Excelorada takes Crawford
After missing the start slightly, five-year-old Exceed And Excel gelding Excelorada mustered enough speed to sit mid-field in the run, before launching down the outside of the field to take out the Listed R.S. Crawford Stakes over 1000m.
Having recorded eight wins and a second over the 1000m from ten starts, 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, the victory of Excelorada was the 58th international Stakes winner for Exceed And Excel.
With 18 yearlings catalogued for January’s Magic Millions yearling sale, highlights include lot 655, the second foal of Listed winner Keystone Gulch, a half-sister to mutlipe G1 winner Switch.
