About
Flying For Fun is a 5yo chestnut mare from Australia, trained by Bryce Heys. She is by Spieth out of Vol Prive. As a stakes winner with $623,000 in earnings, she is considered an above-average racehorse. On 14 Mar 2026 at Rosehill Gardens, Zac Lloyd rode her to a decisive victory in the $250,000 Maurice McCarten Stakes, beating Mal Coupe. She has consistently delivered value to bettors, and backing her throughout her career would have generated a 169% ROI.
