About

Linebacker is a 4yo chestnut gelding trained by John O'Shea and Tom Charlton at Randwick. He is by the stallion Super Seth out of Garden of Swans. With a Group One win and career earnings of $1,056,750, he is regarded as an elite racehorse. On 8 March 2025 at Randwick, ridden by Zac Lloyd, Linebacker achieved his most important victory, taking the $1,000,000 Open Set Weight and beating Broadsiding. He has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 32% return on investment.
