Description

*** 9 x NSW starts - 2 x WINS - 4 x PLACINGS ***

**** WINNER OF HER LAST TWO STARTS IN NSW ****

FLYING CELEBRATION is a lightly raced just turned 4yo Daughter of FLYING ARTIE out of the 4 x WINNING FLYING SPUR Mare ZAFAAF. She hails from a strong international family giving her great upside for breeding after racing!

FLYING CELEBRATION has been a model of consistency and has WON both of her last 2 starts in the always competitive southern NSW region.

She is in an impressive purple patch of form! In her last 6 starts she has had 2 WINS, 2 x 2nds and a 3rd, and has genuine excuses for her other run when she was caught wide, off the track.  

Her prize money to date is $42,775.

Last start at Albury she WON impressively where she made a long sustained run and was the only horse on the day to come from last and blew them away over 1600ms.  To watch her replay please go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcYrKj_UFlc

Attached is a replay of her 2nd last start WIN on 14/07, where she WINS a $35,000 maiden in fine style over 1400ms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MkrcKGV0Ck

There is also a replay of her running 2nd over 1600ms 31/05 at Wagga. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT1Z8Wezo4k

She has been racing well from 1100m to 1600ms from GOOD to HEAVY going, making her an extremely versatile galloper!

 She has only put in one bad run in her 9 starts which was her 3rd start but if you watch the replay you will see she was checked badly and was restrained forcibly by the jock to keep her from coming down. All her replays can be viewed at www.racingnsw.com.au.  

This is a very nice horse to go through her grades with.

FLYING CELEBRATION is IN FULL WORK, has no known issues and is good to do everything with.

She stands at approx 15.3hh / 16hhs.

All vet checks and inspections are welcome prior to auction ending.
