It's amazing that this offspring of Secretariat could be lost for the last 6 years. Great that the Excellor Fund found him
and gave him a good home.

It's actually the Exceller Fund. The folks at the second link got it right.

That's right. The horse that Charlie Whittingham trained and Bill Shoemaker rode that upset Seattle Slew in that
very competitive Jockey Gold Cup race back in the day.
