Bred in Utah by Spencer Peterson, he is owned by Jared and Dennis D. Woolsey and was purchased for $12,000 at the 2024 Heritage Place Yearling Sale in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He earned $20,893 for his third-place finish and was also a finalist in the Beehive Futurity earlier this year. He has banked more than $26,000 in three starts.
