We are excited to announce the recent acquisition of rising galloper Flying Knee.
A lightly raced five-year-old, Flying Knee has only had seven starts and has already amassed over $60,000 in prize money.
On January 4th this year he recorded an impressive victory at Yarra Valley winning by 3 lengths to back up two previous 2nd placed results at his first two starts. The second of which was a strong showing in the Rosebud Country Club Plate at Mornington following a long spell where he ran the quickest last 200m of the race. Flying Knee also delivered strong performances at two of his next three starts flashing home for 2nd at Pakenham on the 15th February before running the last 200m at 11.88 seconds once again at Pakenham on the 7th of March where he finished 3rd.
A speed machine, he is operating at a 100% win or place performance at 1000 metres.
From a pedigree perspective, Flying Knee is just as impressive as he has been on the track. Out of the star stallion Rubick who produced sprinting sensation and Everest winner Yes, Yes, Yes. His dam, I’m a Flying Star was a dual city winner and is a ½ sister to Not a Single Doubt. A $120,000 yearling purchase at the 2021 Inglis Premier Yearling Sales, Flying Knee’s dam I’m a Flying Star has had yearlings sell for up to $240,000 highlighting the quality of the family.
Club Sport Syndications are delighted to have joined Reece Goodwin in this purchase. A young trainer who is continuing to impress, Flying Knee is in fantastic hands as he strives to continue rising the grades.
Flying Knee will arrive with Reece towards the end of April where he will have a few weeks to freshen up before heading back in to embark on his preparation.
Some key reasons why Flying Knee appeals are:
- Has shown himself to be a consistent performer on a multitude of surfaces having placed on Synthetic, Heavy, Soft and Good tracks so far.
- The value which he offered; it is very rare that a sound horse with the record of Flying Knee becomes available for such an affordable price.
- His fantastic record at 1000m having operated at a 100% top three strike rate on the competitive Victorian scene.
- We loved the pedigree of Flying Knee out of a mare who is a ½ sister to Not a Single Doubt and has recently produced exciting metro three-year-old Flying Mean.
- Reece Goodwin is one of Victoria’s brightest young stars in the training ranks and is building a strong reputation with reaping the rewards from tried horse purchases.
