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 $613,000 in earnings, she is considered above‑average ability. On 14 March 2026 at Rosehill Gardens, Zac Lloyd rode her to her biggest victory, the $250,000 Maurice McCarten Stakes, beating Mal Coupe. She has been a lucrative performer for punters; betting on her throughout her career would have yielded a 187% ROI.
