Smart half-brother to winners, most notably Dubai World Cup winner African Story; won maiden at Kyoto in April 2018; two more minor wins since before close second in 1m4f Kyoto handicap on firm in April 2019; most recent success came over 1m4f on firm at Tokyo in October, which he followed with a close third in 1m4.5f Grade 2 handicap back there in November but well held four times in 2020; best run for some time when close fourth in 10f Listed race at Tokyo in January 2021 but unable to build on that next time.
