His last race was in August.A homebred for New York Racing Association chairman Barry K. Schwartz, David (Mt.

His stakes-placings came in efforts in the Sempra Energy Hollywood Gold Cup (gr. I) and Mike Lee Stakes and the Massachusetts (gr. II) and San Bernardino (gr. II) Handicaps. He was retired with five wins from 14 starts and earnings of $403,920. His second dam, Poster Beauty, is a half-sister to champion sprinter Gold Beauty.
