Runner-up (at 150-1) in one of the world's most famous races, the Epsom Derby in June. Subsequently purchased by a partnership led by Sir Owen Glenn's Go Bloodstock - who raced 2015 Melbourne Cup placegetter Criterion - he had three further starts in England, winning a 2800m Group 3 at Goodwood before looking a doubtful stayer over slightly further in the English St Leger. While Gai Waterhouse won her first and only Cup with Fiorente in 2013, her training partner Adrian Bott is yet to taste success. Jockey Craig Williams won his first Cup on now-rival Vow And Declare in 2019.
