The stallion foal, which was bred by Mort and Marjoh Levy's Centurion Farms of Ontario, was from coin copy, a mare that had claimed their owners for $ 6,250. After his early successes for coach Bill Marko, the Levys sold half an interest in Kinghaven farms. The following year, Robert Brennans bought properly process stables in the promising stallion foal and became the sole owner in 1983.
The youthful campaign of the deputy minister was really remarkable when he won the Bull side, Clarendon, Victoria and Colin Stakes in Woodbine and had a success record of five Furlongs before he went to the USA to win over the GR.1 Teenage America, Laurel Futurity and teenage people. His only loss that came from a virus after recovery came in the champagne missions. Injuries thwarted his progress in 1982 and '83, but he still did enough class at the age of four and won the Gulfstream Sprint Championship, Haleeahs Donn Handicap and Tom Fool Stakes at Belmont for coach Rey Nobles.
