About
Faraway Downs, a 4yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Tom Button in Townsville. He is by Flying Artie out of Missus Boss. He has recorded one win in his career. On 13th Feb 2026 at Mackay, he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $23000.00 Qtis 3-y-o Maiden Hcp. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 5% return on investment.
