About

Skybird is a 4yo bay mare (female) from Australia trained by Mitchell Freedman, who is based at Ballarat. She is sired by the stallion Exosphere out of the dam Real Desire. Given that she has won at Group One level and has amassed $1,283,125 in career earnings, Skybird is regarded as an elite class of racehorse. On 15th Feb 2025 at Flemington, Skybird was ridden by John Allen and scored her most significant win to date, getting the money in the $1000000 Open Weight For Age, defeating Stretan Angel. She has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Skybird throughout her career you'd have achieved a 353% return on investment.
