Three-year-old
14 starts: 11-3-0
Poseidon had an exemplary career as a three-year-old.
He began his three-year-old season with wins in two minor races, before winning the AJC Derby by three lengths, ahead of the two favourites. Just two days later, he raced against older competition for the first time in the AJC Metropolitan Handicap, finishing in second place to Solution (NZ).
Poseidon chalked up a string of wins in Melbourne. First came the VATC Eclipse Stakes in record time, then just two days later the Caulfield Cup in race record time, the VRC Victoria Derby, and finally the VRC Melbourne Cup.
After a spell over Christmas, Posedion returned in the autumn and continued on his winning ways with wins in the VATC St Helier Stakes, VRC St Leger Stakes, and the VRC Loch Plate. He then finished second to Dividend in the three mile VRC Champion Stakes, before heading back to Sydney for the Autumn Racing Carnival.
In his two starts in the autumn, Poseidon won the AJC St Leger, but in his last start as a three-year old, he finished second again to Dividend in the AJC Cumberland Stakes.
During his three year old season, Poseidon won approximately £12,000 in prize money.
