About

Sword Of Light is an 11yo chestnut mare from Australia trained by M J Ellerton. She is by the stallion New Approach out of the dam Joyeuse. With a Group Two win and career earnings of $654,250, Sword Of Light is considered a highly talented racehorse. On September 16, 2017, at Flemington, Sword Of Light, ridden by Damian Lane, achieved her most notable victory in the $200,000 Let's Elope Stakes, defeating Swampland. She has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout her career. Backing Sword Of Light throughout her career would have yielded a 28% return on investment. Sword Of Light has retired from racing, with her final race on May 5, 2018, at Morphettville.
