At 5 years he had 6 starts and 6 wins which included the Zaabeel Stakes at Kempton and the Qatar Sprint Championship at Goodwood. At 6 years he went on to win the Al Futtain Trophy in Abu Dhabi.

He retired sound and is a beautifully made horse which combined with his outstandingly kind nature makes him a big favourite as a sire of riding horses. A number of Harwood mares will be covered by him this season.He has sired many winners on the race course and his offspring are making their mark at endurance. His sire Elbing represents some of the finest sound strong horses from Poland and his dam with her prepotent sire Manganate represents some of the finest French racing lines.
