Description
15.3hh approx.
5yo gelding By FLYING ARTIE sire of Group 1 winners ARTORIUS and Royal Ascot sensation ASFOORA.
Excel and Fly is a lightly raced 4-time winner who has placed a further 6 times, earning over 100k in prizemoney. He is an honest and consistent galloper and has pulled up well from his most recent 4th placing on 05/01/25. While he has been a pleasure to have in the stable, his owners wish to race city class horses and we think Excel and Fly will have more success in a weaker jurisdiction. He currently holds a Victorian handicap rating of 69.
As per Lindsay Park Racing policy, this horse is offered under the rules of usual public auction.
Veterinary records remain the property of Lindsay Park Racing.
