He has a two year-old full sister that sold for $625,000 at Inglis Easter last year and is the fifth foal of Nothin But a Dream (USA), a half-sister to the dam of multiple stakes-winner Eleven Eleven, who was also bred and sold by Edinburgh Park.

Nothin But a Dream produced a filly by Zoustar last spring and was then covered by Palace Pier (GB).
