His dam Walvis Bay (Cape Cross) is 3×3 Danzig and this is the immediate family of Danehil (Danzig).
The fourth dam Passing Gull (Arctic Tern) is a half-sister to Razyana (His Majesty), the dam of Gr1 winners Danehill and Eagle Eyed while his fifth dam Spring Adieu (Buckpasser) is a half-sister to Northern Dancer.
Gr1 winner Turffontein (Johannesburg) is advertised at $6600 at Blue Gum Farm in Victoria in 2020.
