Trainer Jason Warren would not mind finding another suitable Stakes race before Flyer is retired to the life of being a broodmare.
Flyer scored a long-priced victory in the MSC Signs Handicap (1200m) at Caulfield Heath on Saturday with Warren revealing the mare is booked to be served by Toronado in the upcoming breeding season.
Bringing up a winning double for Jye McNeil, Flyer ($21) scored by a head from Welcometotheshow ($41) with the $1.75 favourite Custom a short neck away third. Those searching for the best betting sites Australia would have seen one of the day’s biggest upsets.
“We thought she was a terrific chance today,” Warren said.
“Her price was good and I hope the team at Rosemont had something on.
“She’s a stable favourite and she’s heading to the breeding barn this year.
“I think we’ll be looking for an early cover, but in saying that, she’s probably earned herself another run before she goes to stud.
“She’s got a date with Toronado, I believe. She’s going to make a terrific broodmare, just like her mother (Miss Toorak Flyer) did.”
Flyer won on debut as a two-year-old and later in her juvenile year took out the Group 3 David Coles Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville.
The mare then went winless for two years before scoring at Caulfield on May 30.
Warren said there were excuses for Flyer’s last start when midfield over 1200m at Flemington on July 18.
“She likes soft tracks and things didn’t work out for her last start,” Warren said.
“She began too well at Flemington on the big, wide-open track and she needed to come back here around a bend.
“It’s nice to get another winner for Rosemont as they support our stable so well and she’s been a terrific horse for them.”
Warren has dual facilities – a stable at Mornington and a country environment at Bass on Westernport Bay – and said the Bass property suited Flyer.
“We take them all down to Bass after they race and she had her final gallop at Mornington on Tuesday,” Warren said.
“She spends time in the paddock between runs, and you can see your reflection in her coat, she’s that healthy.
“She’s a happy mare and it’s all about keeping her happy.”
