Never trained for racing, he apparently went to stud as a sire of hunters, standing at North Milford until 1769, when he was imported into South Carolina, standing at Arthur Middleton's studs at Ashley River from 1770 to 1774 and Goose Creek from 1775 and 1777. In 1778 he covered at the stud of D. Horry on the Santee river, but, after being advertised for sale the following year all trace of him is lost
Supposedly the sire of the 4th dam of Lawrence's Diomed, but this is impossible as, because her sire Young Babraham was not imported to America until 1769, that mare could not have been born before 1770, and as the dam of Lawrence's Diomed is by Fearnought which died in 1776,
so that Lawrence's Diomed's dam could not have been foaled after 1777, 8 years gap between 1769 and 1777 is insufficient for the maturing of the mares and their conception and birth of the 3rd dam and grandam of Lawrence's Diomed
He made no other mark at stud
