As a three-year-old he had success in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude and the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes.[4] He also ran second behind the unbeaten Black Caviar in her final ever start in the 2013 TJ Smith Stakes.[5]

Epaulette won his second Group 1 when successful in the Doomben 10,000.[6] Epaulette only had one start as a four-year-old and was retired to stud.[7]
