Registered Name: Simply A Flyer
Nickname: Flyer

Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Bay [See Image]
Height: 16.1hh
Gender: Female
Personality:

Flyer is, to put it simply, it a replica of her sire. Except she's not a chestnut. This filly's got some serious attitude, of the good kind. She loves to run and she loves to win even more. From her dam she inherited near perfect conformation. From her sire, intelligence and spirit. From both she inherited her burning passion and will to win. She's not highly affectionate - actually, she prefers horse company to human company - but she does share a special bond with her rider Marissa Star. Flyer has always had a quiet sort of fire about her. Like a flame before it turns into a blaze. She's got the spirit, that's for sure - and she shows it, on and off the track. But she doesn't misbehave like other racers. She hates to displease her rider; instead loving to please her and do her absolute best even for a simple pat on the neck and a few kind words. Most of all, she loves to race and win. During Flyer's two year old season, she was outshine by fellow two year old turfers Gorgeous George and Striking Motion, and was therefore overlooked. In the beginning of her three year old season, Flyer impressed us with a win in the Spring Cup. We started to then take a bit more interest and pay alot more attention to her. She was put on a new training regime, and then started to win like crazy. Throughout the year, she went from Grade Five to Grade One, and won some of the most prestigious turf races, including the Melbourne Cup. At the end of the year, she was awarded Filly Of The Year for her outstanding rise to the top. Her four year old season was amazing, though. Flyer conquered the biggest races, such as the Breeder's Cup Turf, Universal Cup and Melbourne Cup, and dominated the best horses, like The True Nut, Passionate Class, Gorgeous George, Onto The Spotlight and Impressario. It was only fitting, in the end of year awards, when she was crowned Best Grade One, Best older Mare, Filly of the Year, and best of all, RACEHORSE OF THE YEAR. Flyer will run one last time for a win she's never gotten before in the Unicorn Horn Classic, before she is retired to breeding.

Discipline/s: Flat Racing
