Flying Bandit keeps on finding a way to win!
Boasting now an impressive record of 10 starts for 5 wins, 2 seconds and 1 third placing, taking his earnings over $200,000.00, including bonuses!
His latest history being in the BM78 race over 1800 metres at Hawkesbury on 9 April 2025 with jockey Jay Ford on board for the race.
It definitely wasn’t an easy watch at the point of the turn into the straight. He was last, covered up on both sides, and looked to have a whole lot of work to do if he was to somehow find a way to pinch this one..
But, with 250 metres left to go, Jay was able to find air and pulled him out to commence his swooping run right down the outside – he would have to pass them all, and, to his credit, he was able to throw his nose down right on the line. It was an ‘edge-of-your-seat’ finish that’s for sure.
This horse just keeps going through his gears and we are so excited to see him keep progressing and we hope many good things are in store for this guy.
Congrats to his great owners who got such a kick from this determined win!
Big thanks to Proven Thoroughbreds for the pleasure of being able to train this horse, to Jay for another exceptional ride, and as always, to my wonderful staff.
