Half-brother to winners Long River (1m-1m2f inc UAE Group 1; RPR 112), Lake Lucerne (GB/US 8.5f turf/1m2f AW inc Listed; 102), Long Water (UAE 7f/US 1m; 89) and Holland Park (US 1m1f). Won two of his three starts as a three-year-old, but made rapid progress at four, running several good races in defeat and landing the Grade 3 Blame Stakes at Churchill Downs and the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes at Saratoga. Well held in the Breeders' Cup Classic on his final start of the year, but back to winning ways on 2025 reappearance with wide-margin claiming win at Belmont At The Big A in June. Excellent efforts in Grade 1s since.
