- Trained by AP O'Brien winning 6 races between 8-12f at 2yo to 3yo. Won only race at 2yo in an 8f maiden on Oct 28th at Leopardstown (by 14 lengths). Group 1 winner at 3yo including The Derby.
- First Season Sire in 2005 and an average start given the opportunities he has had. 25% winners to runners and a strike rate above the average. Got winners at 7f+ from July to September and a notably good debut record in September with three first time out wins. In general the winners showed up well on debut with the only one not to make the first four was Galileo's Star (5th of 18 in one of the toughest fillies' maidens of the season). Overall quality just average with six of the wins in maiden company and the highlight the 7f Listed race win of Innocent Air. The four representatives in Group races were unplaced with none starting at less than 20/1.
- 33 yearlings sold in 2005 with an average over 100,000gns. Just an average record with British trained 2yos in 2006 but Irish trained Teofilio was Champion 2yo winning the 7f Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes.s
