- 2001 foal, 16.0hh. Owner bred by Khalid Abdulla and trained by Roger Charlton until mid-season of his 3yo season. Transfered to the US after that trained by Bobby Frankel. Raced there until he was 6yo. Ran five times as a juvenile and first past the post in three races. Succesful in a 6f Novice event at Nottingham on his May 16th debut and followed that by winning the 6f Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Ascot (from Botanical). Disappointing next time when only third in the 6f Group 1 Phoenix Stakes in Ireland, as odds-on favourite, behind One Cool Cat & Old Deuteronomy. First past the post in the 6f Group 1 Middle Park Stakes after that (beating Balmont and Holborn). He was subsequently disqualified from the win and placed last because a banned substance was present in the post-race samples. Final run as a 2yo when second in the 7f Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes behind Milk It Mick with Haafhd & Bachelor Duke in third and fourth.
- Ran twice in Britain as a 3yo when second to Haafhd in the 7f Group 3 Craven Stakes then well beaten behind the same horse in the 2,000 Guineas. Ran in the US later that year with a third place in an 8.5f Turf Grade 1 as his best result. Grade 2 winner there as a 4yo over 8f and a Grade 3 success as a 5yo over 8.5f.
- Retired to his breeder's Banstead Manor Stud in 2008 for a fee of £6,000 and still there in 2011 with his fee at £5,000 as it had been in 2009-10. 25 yearlings sold in 2010, from 52 that were catalogued, for an average of 18,617gns and a Median of 10,000gns. First 2yo runners in 2011.
