His racing career was extremely successful, winning all of the races he entered, including the Asahi Hai Sansai Stakes which he had won with a massive gap, earning the nickname "Supercar" in the process.[2] However, as horses brought over from abroad at the time were barred from entering any of the Triple Crown races, the horse was unable to enter in such races.
As a stallion, he was also successful, producing Derby winner Sakura Chiyono O, as well as 3 other Grade I winners, among others.
