His other progeny include Cape Blanco, Frankel, Golden Lilac, Nathaniel, New Approach, Rip Van Winkle and Ruler of the World.

After being restrained at the rear of the field by Emmet McNamara he stayed on well in the closing stages to dead heat for second with Morning Mix, half a length behind the Dermot Weld-trained Radanpour.

Ridden by Heffernan he started the 7/1 fourth choice in a six-runner field behind Forgotten Rules (winner of the British Champions Long Distance Cup), Order of St George (from the Ballydoyle stable) and Panama Hat.

After racing in second place behind Forgotten Rules he moved up dispute the lead approaching the final furlong at which point Heffernan dropped his whip.

He moved alongside Storm The Stars a furlong out but was hampered when the leader hung to the left in the closing stages and finished second, beaten half a length.

[7] On 12 September, Bondi Beach (ridden by Colm O'Donoghue) and Storm The Stars started the 2/1 joint favourites for the 239th running of the St Leger at Doncaster Racecourse.

Simple Verse overtook Storm The Stars but Bondi Beach recovered his momentum and renewed his challenge only to be hampered for a second time when the filly hung to the right again in the final furlong.

Simple Verse crossed the line a head in front of Bondi Beach,[8] but after a lengthy stewards' inquiry the placings were reversed, and the race was awarded to the Irish colt.

[11] On 13 October 2015, Bondi Beach was confirmed to run in the Melbourne Cup by trainer Aidan O'Brien with jockey Brett Prebble taking the ride.
