Flying For Fun (AUS) Horse
About
Flying For Fun is a 4yo chestnut mare from Australia, trained by Bryce Heys at Warwick Farm. She is by Spieth out of Vol Prive. As a stakes winner with $398,300 in earnings, she is considered a horse of above‑average talent. On 29 November 2025 at Rosehill Gardens, Zac Lloyd rode her to her biggest victory, clinching the $200,000 Starlight Stakes over Barber. Throughout her campaign she has been a lucrative prospect for bettors; backing her from the start would have yielded a 246% return on investment.
