Exceed And Excel (foaled 5 September 2000) is a retired multiple Group 1 winning Australian thoroughbred racehorse. After his racing career ended he has been successful as a breeding stallion, having sired over 150 Stakes winners.^[2]

The colt was purchased at the 2002 Inglis Easter yearling sale by his trainer Tim Martin. Martin had previously never paid more than $30,000 for a horse but purchased him for A$375,000. At the time, he had no future owner in line for the horse. After what Martin described as a "scary" two weeks, he drew Sydney lawyer Alan Osburg into a 50% interest while the remaining equity was later taken by businessman Nick Moraitis.^[3]

In Australia he only raced as a two-year-old and three-year-old. His main success came as a three-year-old when he won the Group 1 Dubai Racing Club Cup and the Newmarket Handicap, on both occasions ridden by Corey Brown. His last race was in the 2004 July Cup in England but he finished unplaced.^[4]

Exceed And Excel was sold to Darley Stud for a reported record A$ 22 million.^[5] He was retired from stud duties in March 2024, aged 23. At the time of his retirement he had sired 215 individual stakes race winners, including 18 Group 1 winners. He is the only Australian-bred sire to have sired more than 200 individual stakes winners.^[6]
