About

Skybird is a 4yo bay mare from Australia trained by Mitchell Freedman. She is sired by the stallion Exosphere out of the dam Real Desire. Having won at Group One level and earned $1,283,125 throughout her career, Skybird is considered an elite racehorse. On February 15, 2025, at Flemington, Skybird, ridden by John Allen, achieved her most notable victory, winning the $1,000,000 Open Weight For Age and defeating Stretan Angel. She has been a profitable choice for bettors. Backing Skybird throughout her career would have yielded a 353% return on investment.
