Son of Exceed And Excel strikes again

Reparations, a son of Exceed And Excel, claimed his third victory at Stakes level with a determined win in the Listed John Dillon Stakes at Sandown, Janury 26.

A Listed winner at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day last year, Reparations followed that effort up with a solid third behind Decircles in the G3 Standish Handicap on New Year’s Day. He was able to turn the tables on Decircles in the John Dillon Stakes, prevailing by a nose in a tight finish.

Bred by Darley, Reparations is out of the Listed–winning Red Ransom mare Hold To Ransom who is also the dam of the G3-winning and multiple G1 placed Retrieve as well as the Listed-winning Street Cry filly Abduction.

Exceed And Excel is the sire of nine G1 winners and is standing at Kildangan Stud at €40,000 October 1st SLF alongside his triple G1-winning son Helmet who stands at €10,000 October 1st SLF.
