Thermal Current
(AUS)About
Thermal Current is a 14yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by M J Ellerton, who is based at Flemington. He is sired by the stallion Exceed And Excel out of the dam Soaressa. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $928,975 in career earnings, Thermal Current is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 26th Oct 2013 at Moonee Valley, Thermal Current was ridden by Ben Melham and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $150000 Telstra Phonewords Stakes, defeating Not Listenin'tome. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Thermal Current throughout his career you'd have achieved a 34% return on investment. Thermal Current has concluded his racing career, last running on the 26th Dec 2019 at Caulfield.
