Mister Majestic was a "strong, good-bodied"[2] bay horse with no white markings bred at the Abbeville Stud in County Meath, Ireland by Eimear Haughey.
In the following year he returned to the sales ring and was bought for 26,000 Irish guineas[5] by the bloodstock agent John Warren on behalf of the British financier David Johnson.
After a break of more than three months Mister Majestic was sent to race in Germany where he finished fourth in the Zukunfts-Rennen before returning to England for the Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury Racecourse later in September.
[5] On 4 October Mister Majestic was moved up to Group One level and started a 33/1 outsider in a seven-runner field for the Middle Park Stakes over six furlongs at Newmarket.
[5] Mister Majestic began his three-year-old season by winning a minor race over six furlongs at Folkestone Racecourse in April and finished fourth over the same distance on his next start.
He then finished seventh to Ajdal in the July Cup and fourth to Cricket Ball in the Prix de Meautry but was disqualified in the latter race for carrying an incorrect weight.
[2] In the official International Classification for the European two-year-olds of 1986 Mister Majestic was rated the fifth best colt in Europe, eight pounds behind the top-rated Reference Point.
