About

Flying South is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Angela Smith. He is by Galah out of Funky Town. To date he has recorded four wins. On 5 Jan 2025 at Albany he captured his biggest victory, taking the $24,000 2yo+ Benchmark 58+ Handicap. He has been a lucrative runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 184% return on investment.
