Mr Stunning, an Australian-bred son of Exceed And Excel, won his second G2 on Sunday, 22 October when landing the Premier Bowl at Sha Tin. Held up near the rear in the six furlong contest, he swept to the front in the final furlong before holding off the late challenge of the favourite Lucky Bubbles.
Bred by Makybe Racing and Breeding, Mr Stunner is a son of the Dayjur mare With Fervour, who has bred five winners in Europe, Asia and Australasia. With Fervour is a daughter of the three-time US G1 winner Fran’s Valentine.
Exceed And Excel has sired 38 Stakes performers in 2017 including nine that have won at Group level. A proven source of world-class speed, all his Group winners have come at a mile or less and includes two European juvenile G2 six-furlong winners in James Garfield and Threading.
