This gallant sorrel horse was bought for Wrbna stable at the end of 2001 as one of the many Polish two-year-old protagonists. Unfortunately, he wasn't doing very well at all during the following season, when he was supposed to aspire for a top placement in classic races. He had problems with entering the starting boxes repeatedly. We managed to persuade him to start off only at the end of the season in Pardubice. He came fourth in the President of the Republic Prize (NL).

At the age of four, he turned to hurdle racing. He won four times out of seven starts. He achieved his greatest success in the autumn when he won Paramo Prize (L) in Pardubice. He also traveled to Merano, Italy, already twice in this season. There he once placed second and once the race was stopped.

In a following season, he started more times in Italy than at home. He placed fourth in Gran Corsa Siepi di Milano (Gr.1) in May but then had bad luck twice in Merano. For the first time, the race had to be stopped again and for the second time, he lost his rider. However, he compensated everything at the end of the season when he won Premio Pardubice in Merano, placed second in Pardubice Paramo Prize (L) and won Velká cena umělců in Prague where the hurdle races returned after 24 years.

He appeared seven times on the track in 2005 and reached the temporary top of his career. After a limbering-up in Bratislava he surprisingly won Gran Corsa Siepi di Milano (Gr.1), the top of the Milan season in May, then he placed second in Zlatý pohár (L) in Pardubice (first was his stable colleague Kolorado (POL)), ended also second in Velká mostecká and then third in Corsa Siepi di Merano (Gr.1). He won triumphally in Cena Paramo of Pardubice in October and finished the difficult season with a fourth place in Premio Del Prato (Gr.3) in Milano.

As seven-years old in 2006 he showed up at race just once and as well for the last time. In the same race like Lark (CZE) at Gran Corsa Siepi di Milano (Gr.1) he broken humerus which meant end of his career. Fortunately not end of his life. After several months of treatments he was embedded between pensioners at Rudná pod Pradědem.
