Sebring was a top class two-year-old Australian Thoroughbred racehorse, that won five of his six race starts. After winning the AJC Breeders Plate in his spring debut, he had wins in the Golden Slipper and AJC Sires Produce Stakes and second place, defeated by a nose, in the AJC Champagne Stakes.
He is a chestnut stallion standing 16.1 hands high that was foaled on 23 September 2005. Sebring is by More Than Ready from Purespeed by Flying Spur. Bred by Corumbene Stud Pty Ltd, he was sold at the 2007 Conrad Jupiters Magic Millions Sale to Star Thoroughbreds for A$130,000.
He enjoyed great success as a two year old, including Group One (G1) wins in the Golden Slipper and AJC Sires Produce Stakes.
In Sydney, Blake Shinn, a former Victorian jockey, forfeited the $3,525,800 Golden Slipper ride to Glen Boss because of a suspension. He returned to the $450,000 AJC Sires Produce Stakes at Randwick in which he rode Sebring to win the race, the second leg of the juvenile triple crown.
On 3 May 2008, Sebring failed to complete the triple crown when he was defeated by a short head in the Champagne Stakes by Samantha Miss.
In late July 2008, Sebring had stress-related bone bruising and have to be spelled for two months, effectively ending any attempt at the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
