First Winner For Excelebration At Le Lion d'Angers

Excelebration | Coolmore Stud

1st-LLD, €16,000, Mdn, 4-25, unraced 2yo, 5 1/2fT, 1:07.80, sf.
+NATALIE EXPRESS (FR) (f, 2, Excelebration {Ire}–Miss Emma May {Ire}, by Hawk Wing), made a slick getaway to race in second from the outset of this unveiling. Bounding to the front off the home turn, the 2-1 favourite was shaken up approaching the final furlong and pushed clear in the closing stages to easily account for Sageville (Fr) (Sageburg {Ire}) by five lengths, becoming the first winner for her freshman sire (by Exceed and Excel {Aus}). She is out of a half-sister to the stakes-winning Viz (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}), herself the dam of MGSW dual Irish highweight Viztoria (Ire) (Oratorio {Ire}), from the family of Polish Precedent. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €8,000. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
O/B-Guy Heald (FR); T-Henri-Alex Pantall.
