About
Flying Bandit is a 5yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Kerry Parker at Kembla Grange. His sire is Trapeze Artist and his dam is Rogue Agent. As a stakes winner with $361,700 in earnings, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 2 May 2025 at Wagga, ridden by Jay Ford, he secured his most important victory in the $200,000 Open Handicap, beating Bianco Vilano. He has consistently delivered profit for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 8% return on investment.
