After he retired from racing, he stood as a breeding stallion in the United States and Australia with limited success.
Crow was a chestnut horse with a white blaze standing 16 hands[3] high bred by his owner Daniel Wildenstein.
Crow took the lead early in the straight and won the classic by two lengths from Secret Man and Scallywag.
On his final appearance of the season he failed to reproduce his best form as he finished unplaced behind Vitiges in the Champion Stakes over ten furlongs at Newmarket Racecourse.
Crow was awarded a rating of 134 by Timeform in 1976, making him the second-bestthree-year-old colt in Europe, one pound behind Youth.
In their book A Century of Champions, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Crow an "average" St Leger winner.
