In 1906 he gained the following awards: At Ashburton, first and champion; at the International Show, Christchurch, second prize and reserve champion, also first prize for best stallion in tbe walking competition (beating the champion stallion Pride of Newton), and first prize for Lord Rothschild's silver bowl for the best Colonial-bred stallion (Shire or Clydesdale) by an imported fc-i e, thus gaining highest number of awards at the Show.
