Probably the main US sire that the Coolmore enterprise has targeted with their sales purchases in the last decade to produce high class runners and sires for them. Many of his notable european runners have raced for them including Giant's Causeway, Black Minnaloushe, One Cool Cat & Sophisticat. They have also had success with one of his grandsons in Johannesburg (by Hennessy, a son of Storm Cat).
- A well above average record with his British raced 2yos with many of them running for AP O'Brien. Gets winners mainly at 6f to 7f from May onwards. Better quality winners recently include Statue Of Liberty (Coventry) & Khulood (7f Listed) in 2002; Group placed Catstar, Grand Reward & Old Deuteronomy in 2003; and True Cause (8f Listed) in 2005.
