At three, Chateau Bouscaut won the Prix du Jockey Club and Prix Noailles.[1][2] He was the leading earner for his sire that year, helping Kircubbin lead the French general sire list.[5]

All told, Chateau Bouscaut won ten of his eighteen starts and finished second or third an additional seven times.[2]
