More magic for Exceed And Excel

Madeenaty looks set to provide her sire with his second Magic Millions 2YO Classic after another Stakes victory

Exciting Exceed And Excel juvenile filly Madeenaty claimed her second Stakes victory in just three career starts with a brilliant display of speed in the Listed Wyong Magic Millions 2YO, 22 December.

Jumping from the outside barrier, Madeenaty showed blistering pace to cross the field and lead in the early stages. After kicking clear shortly after straightening, she held all her challengers at bay over the concluding stages to record a neck victory.

A winner of the Listed Maribyrnong Trial on debut in October, Madeenaty is now a clear favourite for the $2 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic on the Gold Coast next month, a race won by her paternal half-brother Le Chef last year.

Bred by Segenhoe Thoroughbreds, Madeenaty is the second foal of Reset’s star daughter Set For Fame, a multiple G2 winner and G1 placegetter.

Exceed And Excel has enjoyed a terrific 2016, siring no fewer than 26 Stakes winners, highlighted by multiple G1 winner Flamberge. He will stand the coming season at Kildangan Stud at a fee of €50,000.
