He ran fifth on his only start as a juvenile in 2019 and the following year, he showed promising but unremarkable form over long distances, winning two minor races and finishing fourth in the Irish Derby.
Ridden by Padraig Beggy he never looked likely to win but kept on well in the closing stages to finish fifth of the seventeen runners behind his stablemate Nobel Prize, beaten three and three-quarter lengths by the winner.
[6] The 2020 flat racing season in Europe was disrupted by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Order of Australia did not reappear until 9 June when he started at odds of 11/2 for a maiden over ten furlongs at Leopardstown Racecourse and finished third behind his stablemates Tiger Moth and Dawn Patrol.
[8] After a two-month break Order of Australia was then dropped back in class to contest a minor race over a mile and a quarter on the synthetic Polytrack surface at Dundalk Racecourse on 18 September and went off the 11/10 favourite against five opponents.
[10] On 11 October, he started at odds of 5/1 for the Group 3 International Stakes over ten furlongs at the Curragh but after racing in second place for most of the way he faded badly in the last quarter mile and came home tailed off last of the nine runners.
Starting a 73/1 outsider Order of Australia broke slowly from the stalls but was rushed forward to settle in fourth place as Halladay set the early pace.
He made a forward move approaching the final turn, overtook Halladay a furlong from the finish, and held off the late challenge of Circus Maximus to win by a neck.
