At stud in France and is highly regarded there, fee €45,000 in 2005.
Gets winners at all distances but better class types tended to be 7-12f

Moderate to average record with British raced 2yos 2003-5 with three ordinary
winners, at 6-7f, from 14 runners. Appears not to produce 'real' sprinters.
Three of his five 2005 representatives made 7f debuts and his only winner
was in a moderate 6f maiden and that 2yo later ran over 8f in a nursery.
