About

Free Bird is a 4yo bay mare trained by David Greene in Te Rapa. She is by Tarzino out of the dam Songbird and has recorded three wins so far. On 6th Jun 2026 at Ellerslie, she claimed her most significant triumph, earning the $40000.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. She has been a profitable runner for punters, and anyone who backed her throughout her career would have realized a 115% return on investment.
