About
Cosmic Crusader is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Andrea Leek. He is by the stallion Maurice out of the dam Cosmic Storm. With a Group One win and $1,637,620 in career earnings, he is considered an elite‑class racehorse. On 6 Dec 2025 at Ascot, jockey Clint Johnston‑Porter rode him to his biggest victory, capturing the $1,500,000 Northerly Stakes over Watch Me Rock. He has been a profitable runner for punters, and backing him throughout his career would have generated a 109% return on investment.
