Cascadian has won just his second Group 1 from 21 attempts, taking out the $600,000 All Aged Stakes in impressive fashion at Royal Randwick.
On the final day of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival, the seven-year-old jumped from the inside barrier and was given a fantastic ride in transit by James McDonald, who steered the gelding away from the fence late in the piece.
Cascadian would storm home to beat 2020 winner Tofane, earning her second G1 success following a win in last year's Doncaster Mile.
Ellsberg would finish in third place, with pre-race favourites Forbidden Love and In The Congo failing to factor into the finish.

The victory for Cascadian continued an impressive day for Godolphin trainer James Cummings, with the enigmatic Kementari taking out the Hall Mark Stakes earlier on the card.
Cascadian's victory however spoiled the fairytale for Tofane, with the successful mare racing for the final time on Saturday.
The race ended a stellar journey at the track for Tofane that included Group 1 victories in the C.F Orr Stakes, Tatt's Tiara, Stradbroke Handicap and All Aged Stakes.
