About

Gotta Fly is a 6yo brown/black gelding from Australia trained by Toni Schofield at Barcaldine. He is by Flying Artie out of Late Spring. So far he has secured five victories. His most notable win arrived on 22 Aug 2024 at Muswellbrook, where he took the $30,000 Class 1 Handicap. The horse has proven to be a rewarding choice for bettors; wagering on him throughout his career would have produced a 17% return on investment.
