He was sold at the New Zealand Bloodstock Yearling Sales in 2011 for $160,000.[1] He began his career with Tony Pike and Mark Donoghue where he won his first six starts, including the Hawke's Bay Guineas and New Zealand 2000 Guineas.[2] Following this he was transferred to Chris Waller in Sydney, Australia, where he finished second behind Dundeel in the Rosehill Guineas[3] before winning the Doncaster Handicap in both 2013 and 2014.[4][5] His first victory of the 2014-2015 season came in the George Main Stakes.[6]
