About
Flying Fortress is a 5yo bay gelding trained by W K Mo in Hong Kong. He is by Shamexpress out of Starguru and has secured three wins so far. His most notable victory came on 9 Apr 2025 at Happy Valley, where he took the $2,050,000 Class 3 Handicap. The horse has proven profitable for bettors; a career‑long backing would have delivered a 186% return on investment.
