Her three-quarter brother fetched $4 million at the recent 2013 Australian Easter Yearling Sale but Fare Well (Exceed And Excel – River Dove, by Hurricane Sky) got one up one her extremely valuable sibling when she recorded a strong debut win in the Twitter @Gossytrack Handicap (1100m) at Gosford.

A daughter of the 2003 Group 1 Oakleigh Plate winner River Dove (Hurricane Sky – Ride The Rapids, by River Rough), Fare Well was herself a $510,000 purchase at the famous Inglis sale 12 months before her three-quarter brother by Fastnet Rock (Danehill – Piccadilly Circus, by Royal Academy) cost Emirates Park almost eight times that amount.

Trainer Clarry Conners gave Fare Well three trials to prepare for her race debut but the two-year-old found herself well back in the field soon after the start of the $35,000 contest but jockey Christian Reith remained calm, biding his time before asking his mount for an effort early in the straight.

Fare Well sprinted impressively when produced at the 200 metres before going on to beat the Gerald Ryan-trained Clarissa (Dane Shadow – Ruby Ring, by Rubiton) by three-quarters of a length.

“She’s a very well bred filly and it’s nice to get a win on the board,” Marc Conners, deputising for his father, said.

“They’re (the Bateman family) great owners and it’s nice to have more winners for them.

“At this time of year people are unearthing two-year-olds and she put them away today pretty well.”

Fare Well is the second winner from three of River Dove’s progeny to race. The mare foaled a brother to Fare Well in 2012.

Guelph’s (Exceed And Excel – Camarilla, by Elusive Quality) bid for back-to-back Group 1 wins looked shaky with 200 metres to run but the filly unleashed an irresistible finishing burst to prevail in Saturday’s Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Randwick.

Overreach (Exceed And Excel – Bahia, by Snippets) scored a dominant win in the Golden Slipper before Guelph took over in races of longer distances, finishing strongly to win the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes and Champagne Stakes.

However, Guelph had to go to the limit to score her second Group 1 victory after a masterful ride from Jim Cassidy on Fuerza (Snippetson – Lady Min, by Nothin’ Leica Dane) left the filly with plenty to do in order to score and only a furlong left in which to make up the required ground.

But Guelph showed the class that landed her the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes, knuckling down to her task late to get home narrowly to preserve a terrific winning streak for Darley stallions in Sydney’s two-year-old Group 1 races.

Darley sires have produced the winners of the last 10 juvenile Group 1 races in Sydney with Exceed And Excel (Danehill – Patrona, by Lomond) providing five of those successful youngsters.

Guelph’s trainer Peter Snowden admitted he was concerned when Guelph found herself well back on the home turn but praised the filly’s will to win under the guidance of top jockey Kerrin McEvoy.

“We were a mile too far back I thought,” Snowden said. “We’d intended to be in the first half-dozen from a good draw today.”

“She got a mile back and I thought she just had too much to do, especially when the leader kicked and it was just going to be a sprint home for the last 600m.”

“She started to tack on well at the furlong but she still had so much more to do yet she was good enough to do it.”

“She has shown what she is made of. She has been to Melbourne for a Blue Diamond campaign, then a Slipper campaign and to back up and win the Sires and Champagne is testament to her ability, her toughness and she is right up there with the best of them this season.”

Guelph is the second foal to race and first stakes winner for the 2007 AJC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) winner Camarilla, who fetched $900,000 herself as a yearling when Woodlands Stud outlaid the hefty amount for her at the 2006 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Darley’s top juvenile stallion Exceed And Excel (Danehill – Patrona, by Lomond) produced a two-year-old stakes winner for the fifth successive Saturday when his daughter Camporella (Exceed And Excel – Really Flying, by Real Quiet) won the Group 3 WA Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Ascot.

Camporella started Exceed And Excel’s run when she won the Listed Gimcrack Stakes (1100m) on March 23 before Sidestep (Exceed And Excel – Dextrous, by Quest For Fame) took out the Group 2 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill on March 30.

Overreach (Exceed And Excel – Bahia, by Snippets) claimed the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) and Champollion (Exceed And Excel – Hierogram, by Octagonal) took out the TL Baillieu Handicap (1400m) on April 6 before Guelph (Exceed And Excel – Camarilla, by Elusive Quality) charged home late to score in the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce (1400m) a week later.

Camporella had the drop on the front-runners throughout the early and middle stages of the WA Sires’ Produce before striding to the lead at the 150 metres. The 1400-metre trip took its toll late but the $140,000 Perth Magic Millions purchase got home a length ahead of Trichologist (War Pass – Foscat, by Catrail).

“She’s a top-class filly,” Camporella’s trainer Dan Morton told Perth Racing. “She had to do things right today, she had to settle and she got the job done.”

A half-sister to Camporella by Shamardal failed to reach a $90,000 reserve at the recent Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Darley stallion Exceed And Excel (Danehill – Patrona, by Lomond) was expected to be the sire of the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) winner but it was somewhat of a surprise when his daughter Guelph (Exceed And Excel – Camarilla, by Elusive Quality) surged late to claim the Randwick feature.

Exceed And Excel’s speedy daughter Overreach (Exceed And Excel – Bahia, by Snippets) won last Saturday’s Group 1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill but the filly’s name summed up her attempt to win the Sires’ Produce Stakes over 1400 metres.

Overreach started as a $1.35 favourite in the ATC Sires’  Produce Stakes but was out on her feet passing the 200 metres as Scandiva (Fastnet Rock – Scandinavia, by Snippets) first gained her measure before Guelph charged home over the top of the duo to score her maiden Group 1 success by three-quarters of a length.

Guelph emulated her dam Camarilla (Elusive Quality – Camarilla, by Danehill) with her fast-finishing win. Camarilla subsequently finished third in the Group 1 ATC Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Randwick in 2007 but Guelph’s trainer Peter Snowden said the two-year-old had earned the chance to do better than that in the 2013 edition of the race.

“She deserves her chance, and she is so tough she can handle it,” Snowden said. “She’s a great eater and she doesn’t knock herself around on the training track.

“Everything is saved for raceday.”

Earlier, smart colt Safeguard (Exceed And Excel – Preserve, by Canny Lad) became Exceed And Excel’s seventh two-year-old stakes winner of the season when he ran home strongly from the back of the field to claim the Group 3 Kindergarten Stakes (1100m).

An setback derailed Safeguard’s Golden Slipper campaign but the colt show his class with a dominant one-length win over Everage (Zizou – Quipster, by Snippets) and Diamond Oasis (Lonhro – Siwa, by Green Desert).

Safeguard was the 69th stakeswinner for Exceed  And Excel, who enjoyed a stakes treble when smart Peter Moody-trained mare Kulgrinda (Excced And Excel – River Crossing, by Bellotto).

Kulgrinda is from the same family of the Fastnet Rock (Danehill – Piccadilly Circus, by Royal Academy) colt that fetched $4 million at the 2013 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Exceed And Excel (Danehill – Patrona, by Lomond) filly Guelph (Exceed And Excel – Camarilla, by Elusive Quality) is the favourite for Saturday’s Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.

Guelph drew barrier 13 for the $1 million race but the filly is favoured to become the second Blue Diamond winner sired by Exceed And Excel after Reward For Effort (Exceed And Excel – Miss Prospect, by Rory’s Jester) won the event in 2009.

Unbeaten Not A Single Doubt (Redoute’s Choice – Singles Bar, by Rory’s Jester) filly Miracles Of Life (Not A Single Doubt – Dazzling Gazelle, by More Than Ready) is the second pick but could challenge for favouritism after drawing barrier one.

Last season’s Australian Champion Sire Fastnet Rock (Danehill – Piccadilly Circus, by Royal Academy) has a chance to have his first Blue Diamond winner with his son Fast ‘N’ Rocking (Fastnet Rock – For The Good Times, by Hennessy) to start from barrier seven.

Fastnet Rock had two Blue Diamond Stakes representatives at acceptance time but Flemington trainer Mark Kavanagh scratched last Saturday’s Listed Talindert Stakes (1100m) winner Casquets (Fastnet Rock – Suitely, by Woodman) after the filly drew the outside gate in the 16-horse field.

Below is the full field for the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield.
