A private purchase from Ireland, Indigenous soon established his supremacy at 2400 metres. Handled by two different trainers in his first Hong Kong season, he began his second season in the hands of a third trainer, then champion trainer and acknowledged maestro, Ivan Allan. The two became inextricably linked. After winning five races, all of them trophy races, including the Gold Cup and the Champions and Chater Cup, for Ivan Allan in his first season with him, Indigenous became the top-rated horse in Hong Kong.

In the 1998/99 season, Indigenous won four more trophy races, including the Hong Kong International Vase at 2400 metres. In the summer of 1999, Ivan Allan took the horse to England for the "King George" a top International Group One event, over 2400 metres. Indigenous ran 6th. Not discouraged, Indigenous then lined up in the Japan Cup, in November, and ran 2nd. It may not have been a win, but that single minor placing was immensely significant for Hong Kong. It demonstrated that Hong Kong horses were up to International Group One standard.
