- To stud in 1989 and exported to Japan in 1994 before returning to stand in Ireland in 2000. A good record and produced Group 1 winners Ashkalani (French 2,000), Soviet Line (8f) & Starborough (8f) before being exported and recent Group 1 winner Starcraft (bred in Australia and Derby winner there before being brought to Europe).
- An average record with his three crops of British raced 2yos since he returned to stand in Europe. Gets winners at 5f to 7f from early season, most of his winners have been average maiden level at best and the hints of better quality from his precocious sprint fillies. Has a good record with his runners on debut.
