As a 3yo this son of champion sprinter Fastnet Rock defeated 19 of Australia’s fastest performers to land the Gr.1 Coolmore Stud Stakes and he was later transferred to Europe, where he won both his starts. With a November 14 birthday, he was little more than three and a half years old when he landed the Gr.2 Greenlands Stakes and a month later he took the Gr.1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes, despite carrying the same weight as his older European rivals on both occasions.
