Exceed and Excel | Darley

4th-KEM, £4,500, Mdn, 10-12, 2yo, f, 7f (AWT), 1:27.31, st/sl.
+TRIBUTE ACT (GB) (f, 2, Exceed and Excel {Aus}–Sister Act {GB}, by Marju {Ire}), a half-sister to the 2014 G1 Prix Jean Romanet and G2 Blandford S. winner Ribbons (GB) (Manduro {Ger}), Hwt. Older Mare-Ire at 9 1/2-11f, G1SW-Fr, GSW & G1SP-Ire, SW & GSP-Eng, $590,119, was settled in mid-division early. Challenging wide in the straight, the 13-2 shot was coaxed to the front with 150 yards remaining and only needed to be pushed out with hands and heels to win by 3/4 of a length from Golden Nectar (GB) (Sakhee's Secret {GB}). Tribute Act is the last known foal out of Sister Act, a full-sibling of the brilliant Soviet Song (Ire), European champion and multiple highweight with five group 1 wins including one in the Sussex S. who made her debut on this track when beating Airwave (GB) (Air Express {Ire}) in 2002. Her half-sister, the listed scorer Marlinka (GB) (Marju {Ire}), has now made her own mark as a broodmare by producing the recent G1 Prix de l'Abbaye heroine Marsha (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $3,529. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
