Description
Bacchanalia is a very handsome 6yo bay gelding by Exceed And Excel x Thalia, who stands at 16.1hh. He was previously trained by James Cummings for Godolphin before coming to Litt Racing.
He was a Group 3 winner as a 4yo winning the Star Kingdom over 1200m, and a Listed winner as a 3yo taking out the Gosford Guineas over 1200m. He has also placed multiple times in Listed races, most recently in the Ramornie Hcp over 1200m on July 17th 2024, where he ran a very close 2nd.
Bacchanalia has won six races, and placed seven times from 31 starts, racing over distances ranging from 1000m to 1350m. His best performances have been over 1100m to 1200m on all going from Good 4 to Heavy 10.
He has had three starts this preparation, and is due to run at Eagle Farm on Saturday, April 5th in an open Hcp over 1200m. He has also had four trials this prep and won three of them.
Bacchanalia is being sold on behalf of the owners as a racing prospect, and we feel with his good looks, imposing stature and good nature that he would be a decent candidate for life after racing in other equine disciplines.
