Bivouac

B 2016 16.0HH (1.62M)
Exceed And Excel – Dazzler (More Than Ready)
Standing at Kelvinside, NSW

Crowned World Champion Sprinter, Champion Three-Year-Old, amassing $5,696,110 in prize money and retiring a six-time Group winner, three at G1 level.

Brilliant at two: G3 Kindergarten Stakes by two lengths to Libertini.

Better at three: a dual-G1 winner of the G1 Golden Rose and G1 Newmarket Handicap (like Exceed And Excel).

Blitzed them at four: a 3 1/4 length winning margin in the G1 weight-for-age sprint - the Darley Sprint Classic at Flemington.

Remember his blistering speed? He’s already passing it on - two G2 winners, Beiwacht and Intention, a Listed winner, Launa Miss and Flemington winner, Cavalry Girl. Time to get in his camp.

Pedigree notes

The best and fastest son of Exceed And Excel, Australia’s leading influence for speed and early maturity.

G1 Statistics
Exceed And Excel, his sire, has left 20 individual G1 winners to date which are by 18 different broodmare sires, two being out of Elusive Quality and two out of Street Cry mares. Most of G1 winners have a return of Northern Dancer in the mare. Exceed And Excel has sired multiple G1 winners with returns of Danehill, Sadler’s Wells, Sir Tristram, Star Kingdom, Street Cry. Versatility is Exceed And Excel’s strong suit and we could reasonably expect the same from his son Bivouac. 

Best Nicks
Bivouac’s sire Exceed And Excel has already left over 210 Stakes winners and has more than 40 different broodmare sires, there is plenty of evidence to hang your hat on. For Exceed And Excel the most individual Stakes winners are out of mares by: Elusive Quality, Lonhro, Encosta de Lago, Pivotal, Snippets and Singspiel. Bivouac already has a second dam by Elusive Quality leaving Encosta de Lago as a preferred option.  

Inbreeding / Linebreeding options 
He is from Canny Lad’s family who crosses well with Danehill, it might be a good option to find mares carrying Canny Lad. Obvious candidates in I Am Invincible and Rubick and their sons such as Brazen Beau. Street Cry or Dubawi lines would be ideal prospects. Danehill’s some of the best results are when combined with Sadler’s Wells bloodlines, Galileo, High Chaparral, So You Think, also Montjeu, Singspiel, Medaglia d’Oro, Barathea and Scenic just to name a few. Encosta de Lago is by Sadler’s Wells’ brother Fairy King, and he has already nicked well with Bivouac’s sire.
