One of the most versatile horses to race in Queensland, Amberdown was able to hold his form for six seasons of racing. Among his wins was the 1916 
Stradbroke when a two-year-old. It was only his fourth race start and began a wonderful association with his jockey Myles Connell. He is one of only six two-year-olds to win the famous race. Amberdown was also second in the 1917 Stradbroke behind Sydney Damsel. Amberdown won the feature Claret Stakes, National Plate, Denman Plate, Royal Stakes and Toombul Plate at Eagle Farm but finished his racing days in Sydney. Many historians record Amberdown as one of the best Albion Park horses of all time and he won the three feature races at the "creek", the Albion Park Cup, Brisbane 1000 and Albion 500. His best win was in the Cup when he almost fell at the start.
Throughout Amberdown's career he was trained by W. Wilson and W. Prosser.
