Bred and owned by prominent Montreal businessman Jean-Louis Lévesque, L'Enjoleur was sired by U.S.
He was out of the racing mare Fanfreluche, a daughter of the 20th Century's most influential sire, Northern Dancer.
Included in his 1974 wins was the important Grade 1 Laurel Futurity in Baltimore in which he defeated Wajima while equalling the track record time.
After ill health forced Jean-Louis Lévesque (1911-1994) to sell his stable, in 1993 L'Enjoleur was sent to a breeding farm in Ohio where he led the Ohio general sire list on five occasions including four consecutive years from 1995 through 1998.
Pensioned, L'Enjoleur died at the age of 28 in 2000 at Highland Meadows Farm near Petersburg, Ohio.
