At his final run in November 2015, he was ridden by Jeff Penza, who is now competing the horse with great success.

His sire Elvstroem was a champion on the track winning five Group I races including the Victoria Derby and Caulfield Cup before retiring to stud at Blue Gum Farm in Victoria where he stood until 2015 when waning popularity here saw him exported to France.
