SED: How to delete from expression to end of line

I have the following line(s) of text in a file:

Card: H'00f2 Elapsed Time (day - h:m:s): 0 - 21:14:18.5

I basically want to search for "Elapsed Time", then delete this and everything else to the end of the line. I've tried a lot of different things, but cannot seem to get rid of everything.

Any ideas?

I've tried the following:

(1) sed 's/^M//g;s/Elapsed Time [():a-zA-Z0-9 ]*//'

results: Card: H'00f2 - h:m:s): 0 - 21:14:18.5

(2) sed 's/(day - h:m:s)://g;s/Elapsed Time[ ]*[0-9]*[a-z]*[A-Z]*//'

results: Card: H'00f2 - 21:14:18.5
