In a 25-start career of the highest order, Ellsberg marked himself an elite athlete from the outset.
Group 3 placed at just his third start in Spring Stakes (1600m), in the G1 All Aged Stakes he finished third, ahead of Mo’unga, Forbidden Love, In The Congo, and Hungry Heart.
He was then a dominant, 3.3-length winner of the G3 Liverpool City Cup.
Then, winning the G1 Epsom Handicap, he left four individual Group 1 winners in his wake.
In the $2m Five Diamonds, carrying 59kg, he broke a track record that had stood for a quarter of a century – by OVER THREE LENGTHS.
He won 4 stakes races (including a Group 1) and placed in another 14 earning $3.3 million in prizemoney.
