- 1992 foal. Owned by Sheikh Mohammed and trained by M. Stoute winning nine races from 7f to 12f between 2yo to 5yo. As a juvenile won 1 from 3 when unplaced in 7f maiden on Sept 6th debut, successful in a similar race on Sept 21st and runner-up up (to Celtic Swing) in a 7f conditions race in October. Won four Group 1 races as an older horse from 10f to 12f in Britain, Canada & Japan.
- To stud in 1998 and a solid record including producing Group 1 winners Moon Ballad (10f dirt in Dubai), Papineau (Ascot Gold Cup) & Asakusa Den'en (Japan).
- In general has a slightly below average record with his British raced 2yos with a lowish winners to runners figure - because he gets later maturing stock usually with 'old school' trainers who do not need to press on with them. His strike rate is often above average for similar reasons in that most of his 2yos only run 1-3 times and he gets some better types that can win maidens. Most wins are over 7f to 8f from later July onwards although he has got two 6f wins with owner breds (e.g. Liberty in 2003). The majority of winners are at good maiden level but gets occasional better quality 2yos such as 7f Listed winner Bourbonnais (2002) and Listed 7f Confidential
Lady & triple winner Mulaqatin 2005.
- 37 yearlings sold in 2005 with the colts averaging over 120,000gns and the fillies above 50,000gns. 32 sold in 2006 for a 63,000 average.
