Saturday’s Gr3 Zeditave Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield winner Oxley Road is SW182 for Exceed And Excel.
Oxley Road travelled smoothly wider out to the home turn where he was first for home and needed only two or three reminders to keep his mind on the job to defeat It’saboutime (Time For War) with Valaquaquenta (Street Boss) closing late for third.
An impressive winner on debut, Oxley Road sold for $125,000 as a Magic Millions Gold Coast yearling and is now the winner of both his starts for trainer Peter Moody.
He is a brother to Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes winner and Gr1 Golden Rose Stakes third Exceedance, their dam Bonnie Mac (Thorn Park) the Listed winner of the Proud Miss Stakes in Adelaide.
Bonnie Mac is a half-sister to Gr3 Grand Prix Stakes in Brisbane winner Upham (Mastercraftsman), Gr3 Epona Stakes in Sydney winner Intimate Moment (Dubawi) and to New Zealand Listed winner Gold Rum (Golan).
Gr1 winner Exceed And Excel (Danehill) was advertised at $132,000 at Darley Kelvinside in 2020.
