Trained by Tom Jennings, he won the Premier Pas at Chantilly in 1858, the Prix du Jockey Club the following year as well as the Derby Continental at Ghent, the Grand St. Leger de France at Moulins and the Prix Special at Paris. He was half brother to Stradells, winner of the French Oaks, and his sire Nuncio was by Plenipotentiary, winner of the 1834 Derby.
