One of the best horses of 1743, winning 3 King's Plates between May and July; appeared unlikely to replicate that form in the King's Plate at Newmarket in March 1744 before falling lame in the 3rd heat, ending his career
20 August 1742 - £50 Prize Lewes; 10 May 1743 - £60 Prince of Wales's Plate Epsom; 24 May 1743 - King's Plate Guildford (from Dismal); 7 June 1743 - King's Plate Salisbury (from Ladies' Delight); 26 July 1743 - King's Plate Canterbury
8 July 1742 - 6th £50 Prize Nottingham (to Turpin, Silvertail and Brisk); 29 March 1744 - unplaced King's Plate Newmarket (to Tortoise, falling lame after finishing 6th and 4th in the first two heats)
He covered at Euston, near Easingwold, Yorkshire and later at Purley, near Croydon, Surrey, and sired three fillies which bred on, but not with any great consequence
