In 1978, Exceller defeated Seattle Slew and Affirmed in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. He won seven stakes races that year. In 1997, Exceller was nominated to Racing's Hall of Fame.
In 1997, he died in a slaughterhouse.
Without the combined efforts of The Exceller Fund, other equine organizations, and donors, many more Thoroughbreds would meet the same fate as Exceller and be sent to slaughter.
Please help them help the Racing Warriors who have found sanctuary with The Exceller Fund.
