MAXIOS is a proven supplier of blacktype horses on the flat and over obstacles, and has one top-level winner in both sectors. He was an unbeaten mile Group 3 scorer as a two-year-old whose early trajectory was towards middle distances, and while he did well it was when brought back in trip that he became a dual Group 1 star.

He was a Group 2 Grand Prix de Chantilly-placed winner of the 10-furlong Group 3 La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte as a four-year-old, beating Reliable Man in the latter. His five-year-old campaign also began with 10-furlong success, this time defeat of Don Bosco in the Group 2 Prix d’Harcourt.
