About
The Hay Flyer, a 7yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Marita Lawson. She is by Smart Missile out of Turandot. To date she has secured three victories. On 9 Apr 2024 at Swan Hill she captured her biggest win, earning $27,000 in the 3yo+ Benchmark 58 Handicap. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 133% ROI.
