Flying Winner for Artie Brings Inglis Easter Update

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday March 30

Stakes-placed at his first two runs as a two year-old behind Sneaky Five and Anamoe, three year-old gelding The Art of Flying has taken a while to break his maiden but he got the job done in style at Canterbury on Wednesday.

Gelded last year, the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace trained son of Flying Artie showed a glimmer of his true ability when finishing third to Overpass and Spellcatcher in the $750,000 Inglis Sprint at Flemington earlier this month.

With stakes form and James McDonald to ride, the Art of Flying looked a good thing in the 1250m maiden and ran out an easy two and a quarter length winner.


Now that The Art of Flying has broken the ice he should be followed into better company with plenty of suitable options for him before the end of the season.

An $80,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Ciaron Maher Racing from the Rushton Park draft, The Art of Flying is the first winner for Canary, an unraced half-sister to Champion Sprinter Yell and to the dams of Group I winners Microphone and Holler.

The win of Art of Flying has brought a good pedigree update for his half-brother to be offered by Fairview Park at Inglis Easter next week as Lot 92.



This striking bay colt is by Pride of Dubai and has another pedigree update as last Saturday’s Group III WA Oaks winner Lady Chant also comes from this family.
