Progressive Exceed And Excel colt Outdo has been hinting at greater things to come, running third and second in his two most recent starts, and he duly delivered on Friday with an impressive last-to-first swoop to take out the Anzac Day Stakes at Flemington.
From a staying dam line out of the Rhythm mare Galway Lass, Outdo, who has only finished out of the money once in five starts, is now likely to be prepared with a Derby campaign in mind following this 1400m victory. His trainer Steve Richards is also responsible for G3 winner and Cadbury Guineas place-getter Playwright, by Fantastic Light.
Outdo is the eleventh individual winner and the latest star in what is proving to be a talented first crop for Exceed And Excel, which includes G3 winners Exceedingly Good, Wilander and Believe’n’Succeed and Listed winner Sugar Babe.
