About
El Fortress, a 4yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Jamie McConachy. He is by the stallion Tassort out of the mare De Lago Bloom and has recorded four wins to date. On 25 Jul 2026 at Mackay, he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $30,000 Ma's Pizza Class 3 Handicap. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors, delivering about a 10% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
