the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp Gr.1, defeating five winners of 12 Gr.1 by 5 lengths.

He ended his exceptionnal racing career with a third place in the Gr.1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, 
on his first attempt over the distance.

A unique partnership involving Godolphin, Dayton Ltd and the Haras d’Etreham was created for his stallion career.
