In the following spring he came in third in the Craven Stakes before recording his biggest win in the 2000 Guineas. Although be made no impact in the Epsom Derby or the St Leger, he had further major victories in the St James's Palace Stakes and the Champion Stakes. He failed to win in 1924 and was retired to stud, but had little success as a breeding stallion.
