Forte Mile, Jersey Stakes and also in a Grade 2 race in the US.
- Retired to stud in 1994 and has been a high class sire in Australasia producing three Grade 1 winners including the star filly Sunline. His success there meant that he now shuttles back to Europe to cover in the Northern hemisphere season. First British raced 2yos in 2003 and had two above average seasons 2003-4 with a good set of winners from June onwards. Gets winners at all distances but best record at 6-7f. Those crops included a number of useful winners and Salford City from the 2003 set won the Group 2 Greenham at 3yo.
- 2005 saw less runners and only one of the 8 runners managed to place - minor 8f winner Dunelight. 21 yearlings sold in 2005 for an average above 10,000gns. Only one winner from 12 runners in 2006 and a low strike rate. No yearlings sold.
