Hot speed suits son of Exceed And Excel

Thermal Current records fourth career Stakes victory with fast-finishing win in WJ Adams Stakes

Multiple G3-winning son of Exceed And Excel, Thermal Current, added a fourth Stakes win to his record when landng the Listed W.J. Adams Stakes over five furlongs at Caulfield on 4 February.

The Darren Weir-trained gelding settled behind midfield in the early stages but was able to weave a passage between horses once entering the straight and finished powerfully to grab victory in the final few strides.

Bred and raced by David and Jenny Moodie's Contract Racing Pty Ltd, Thermal Current is out of Stakes-winning Twining mare Soaressa, a half-sister to Stakes winners Assertive Eagle and Impressive Eagle.

Exceed And Excel has sired ten career G1 winners including four-time G1 winner Guelph, Golden Slipper winner Overreach and Blue Diamond Stakes winners Earthquake and Reward For Effort. He is also the sire of record-breaking Caulfield Guineas winner Helmet, a fellow Darley Stallion, together with his G2-winning son Sidestep.

Exceed And Excel is standing at Kildangan Stud at a fee of €50,000, October 1st SLF.
