About
Flying Ace, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Jack Laing at Cranbourne, is by Flying Artie out of Affinee. He has won four races, including a notable victory on 8 Jan 2025 at Mornington in the $55,000 3yo+ Benchmark 64 Handicap. Punters who backed him over his career would have earned a 35% return on investment.
