J J was a top class sprinter but unfortunately was unable to transfer that ability to a big run in England, though he did run a good third in the July Cup. Circumstances saw him change stables halfway through his UK campaign and had him racing like he was some kind of claimer. He raced 8 times in 4 months over there, including 4 runs in September 09 for Richard Hannon. His big international win came in Hong Kong where he touched of Rocket Man and Sacred Kingdom in the Hong Kong Sprint. He also became the first horse to return to South Africa from an international campaign and win a Gr1, taking both the Golden Horse Casino Sprint and the Mercury Sprint in 2010. He was unable to repeat the feat when returning from abroad for a second time in 2012. Until 2012, he was unbeaten in five South African Gr1 sprints.

J J The Jet Plane made his debut in South Africa in October 2007 as a three year old and last raced in South Africa on 28 April 2012 at age seven. His career record reads (29) 14-1-3.
