Dynaformer started in 30 races, winning 7 of them, placing in 5, and coming in third twice. His career earnings amounted to $671,207. At age three, he won the Grade II Jersey Derby, the Grade II Discovery Handicap, and the Lucky Draw Stakes in which he equaled the Aqueduct track record of 1:48 2/5 for a mile and one-eighth.[2] He placed in the General George Stakes and the Grade II Gallant Fox Handicap.

In addition, he sired grass horse Lucarno, the winner of the G1 British Classic, and the St. Leger Stakes, as well as It's Somewhat, winner of the 2017 Doncaster Handicap.
