About
Spying is a 4yo dark bay/brown horse from the United States, trained by Brendan P. Walsh. He is by Gun Runner out of the mare Baby Go Far. To date, Spying has captured three victories. On November 14, 2025, at Churchill Downs, he earned his biggest triumph, taking the $78,000 Race 3 purse. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 94% return on investment.
