To stud in 1988 and has sired the winners of around 600 races, mainly at
ordinary level but with highlights such as the full brothers Sampower Star
& Fire Up The Band who are both Group race winning sprinters out of
the mare Green Supreme. His most notable runner was an oddity in Millkom.
He had a minor sprint 2yo pedigree and won five races in the French provinces
at that age. He developed as a 3yo to win a Group 1 over 12f in France
and later won the Grade 1 Man 'O War Stakes in the US.

In common with many old sires he is rarely used these days and has a limited
number of representatives. Most runners are moderate but gets examples
of better runners usually from a small group of mares at the Manor House
Stud, most notably Green Supreme (dam of 2005 Group winning 2yo Strike
Up The Band) and her mother - Pea Green (dam of Skyharbor who was his best
runner in 2003). The other link between most of this set is the trainer
D. Nicholls.

Gets winners at 5-6f from April onwards.
