Threading

Daughter of Exceed And Excel impresses at Goodwood

Ground conditions may have been testing at Goodwood but Exceed And Excel's two-year-old daughter Threading handled them well to run right away from a big field. Making her career debut over six furlongs, the Mark Johnston-trained filly was always cantering on the outside and when asked for effort, ran right away to win by six lengths.

Threading is a daughter of the unraced Seeking The Gold mare Chaquiras, who had previously produced three winners including four-time scorer Beachy Head (Shamardal). A sister to the great Champion Dubai Millennium, Chaquiras also has a yearling filly by Slade Power and has been scanned in foal to Farhh this season.
