As a juvenile won 3 of 6 & awarded the 6f Group 1 Middle Park Stakes on the disqualification of Three Valleys for testing positive for a banned substance. Previously won a 6f Doncaster maiden and a 6f Newmarket Novice event in July & the 6f Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes in August. Unplaced in the 7f Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes on his final juvenile start.
- Race a further 12 times at 3-5yo between 5f to 7f but without winning. Placed over 5f at Group 1 level (to Celtic Mill) & 6f at Group 2 level (to Cape Of Good Hope) in the middle of his 4yo season at best.
- At Tara Stud in Ireland in 2010 at a fee of €4,000 down from €5,000 in the previous three years. 8 yearlings sold in 2009 (of 18 offerred) for an average of 20,605 guineas but a median of only 4,429. The average boosted by the top price paid of 115,000gns for a colt out of the mare Manuka Magic (with R. Hannon). First 2yo runners in 2010.
