Exceed And Excel recorded his 28th individual Stakes winner in fantastic style when his son Canali produced a brilliant front-running display to take the Listed Summer Scorcher at Ascot, Australia by three-quarters of a length on January 1.
Showing tremendous speed, reminiscent of his dual G1-winning sire, the four-year-old was dominant throughout the five-furlong contest and finished strongly to win by just under a length.
Bred by Bart Cummings, Canali is out of the Stakes-placed Barathea mare Angora, making him a half-brother to the Stakes-placced Fantastic Light gelding Vilayet.
Exceed And Excel, who will stand the upcoming breeding season at a fee of £12,000 at Dalham Hall Stud, is also sire of G1 winner Reward For Effort and recorded no fewer than 26 individual Black type performers in 2010.
