An success at stud, he was champion Australian sire on three occasions and sired horses the calibre of three-time Cox Plate winner Kingston Town, Golden Slipper winners Canny Lad and Star Watch, Emancipation, Canny Lass, Boardwalk Angel, Spirit of Kingston, Best Western, True Version, Wrap Around and many more.
