Maiden Of The Week

Dynamited (AUS)

2 c Exceed And Excel – Shatters by Lonhro
O: Godolphin
T: James Cummings
B: Darley
W: #theraces Handicap, 1100m, Rosehill, 11 November

The Godolphin-raced colt Dynamited impressed in scoring in really good style on his racecourse debut at Rosehill last Saturday.

The son of Exceed And Excel (Danehill) began well from barrier five under jockey Tye Angland and travelled up nicely to challenge outside the leader Secret Lady (Choisir) at a reasonable early tempo.

He put pressure on the leader from the 600 metres, lifting the tempo, got the upper hand at the 100 metres and went on to score by half a length for a convincing first up win, sprinting home in quick time.

The Darley-bred Dynamited is one of four named foals out of the winning Lonhro (Octagonal) mare Shatters, making him a half-brother to the 2015 Up And Coming Stakes (Gr 3, 1300m) winner Shards (Medaglia d’Oro).

His second dam Smash (Quest For Fame) was a winner as a juvenile and produced five winners from six foals to race, while his third dam Destruct (Sir Tristram) won twice at Listed level during her racing career.

She is a half-sister to both the Group One-winning and Group One-producing sire Strategic (Zeditave) and the dual Group Two winner Clang (Bellotto), while this is also the same family as stakes winners Sweet Embrace (Todman), Right Of Refusal (Refuse To Bend) and Quarterman (Strategic).
