Bred by Lord Portmore he ran in his colours in 1736 winning at Winchester, Salisbury, Lewes and Canterbury. Purchased by Mr Grisewood he ran from 1737 to 1744 winning many prizes and defeating such horses as Lord Portmore's Crab and Mr Cole's Foxhunter. He was beset with intermittent lameness throughout his turf career otherwise it was said his form was such that he would have won many more prizes. In the stud he got Miss Elliot (gr f 1756) the dam of the famous Gimcrack (gr c 1760 Cripple).
