About

Thermal Current is a 14yo bay gelding from Australia trained by M J Ellerton. He is sired by the stallion Exceed And Excel out of the dam Soaressa. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $928,975, Thermal Current is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On 26th Oct 2013 at Moonee Valley, Thermal Current, ridden by Ben Melham, secured his most notable victory in the $150000 Telstra Phonewords Stakes, defeating Not Listenin'tome. He has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing Thermal Current throughout his career would have yielded a 34% return on investment. Thermal Current has retired from racing, with his final race on 26th Dec 2019 at Caulfield.
