A bay colt sired by Sir Gallahad III (bred in France) out of Marguerite, he raced for only two seasons (1929–30), winning 11 of 17 starts. His winnings of $308,275 as a three-year-old was a single season record for 17 years, and his career winnings of $328,165 was a world record subsequently broken.
