About
Skybird, a 6yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Mitchell Freedman. She is out of Real Desire and by the stallion Exosphere. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $1,614,875, she is considered an elite racehorse. On 15 February 2025 at Flemington, jockey John Allen guided her to her biggest triumph, winning the $1,000,000 Open Weight‑For‑Age race over Stretan Angel. Punters have found her to be a lucrative prospect; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 172% ROI.
