- 2008, 16.1hh. Cost $11,000 as a yearling at the Keeneland September sales and £36,000 as a 2yo at the Doncaster Breeze-up Sale. Trained by David Simcock. Successful in the first 3 of his 4 starts as a juvenile beginning with a 6f maiden on July 16th by a wide margin (Picture). Followed that with a pair of 6f Group 1 wins in the Prix Morny (from Tin Horse) & the Middle Park Stakes (by 9 lengths from Strong Suit). Stepped up to 7f for the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes for his last run, when that race sufficiently well spaced from the Middle Park to allow horses to run in both. Started 5/2 second favourite to Frankel but never looked comfortable on the going and ran below his best form.
- Delayed start to his 3yo career and made his debut when unplaced in the 8f Group 1 St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Successful in 3 of his later 4 starts including the 6f Group 1 pair of the July Cup and the Sprint Cup, defeating Bated Breath by a narrow margin each time. Unplaced in the 6.5f Group 1 Prix Mauride de Gheest, as the Evens favourite, between those two wins. Stepped up to 7f for his final career outing when winning the 7f Group 1 Prix De La Foret defeating Goldikova.
- Retired to Ballylinch Stud at a fee of €17,500 and that decreased to €15,000 for 2014. 75 yearlings sold in 2014, of 82 offered from 93 catalogued, for an Average of 70,375gns and a Median at 45,113gns. First Season Sire in 2015.
