Maximum Vortex (AUS) Horse
About
Maximum Vortex is a 6yo bay/brown gelding from Australia trained by Ethan Ensby. He is by Kuroshio out of Forward. He has recorded seven wins so far. On 1 February 2025 at Doomben he secured his biggest victory, the $85,000 Rest 0 Metro Wins Handicap. The horse has been a reliable money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 61% return on investment.
