_{While he may be "only" grade two, Fly has proven himself an amazing sprinter and worthy of the HOF title. The three time winner of the Horse Of The Year Best Sprinter Award has had a pretty fabulous career. His record of 33-12-10-9 boasts a 93.9% win/place/show percentage, which means he only ever placed out of the top three twice.

Fly was much too immature as a two year old to begin racing, but his lines told us he was a keeper. We left him to fill out for a year, and grow up both physically and intellectually. When he turned three, we hired a new jockey by the name of Davo Perez, who took a instant liking to the colt and offered to help train him. Later that year, they went on to win their first race together.
The fiesty stallion didn't really start to show true potential until he turned four, and started racing actively. He won four races that year, including the Boy's Festival, placed second in two, including the Star Festival, and third in three, including the Breeder's Cup Sprint.
But it wasn't until he turned five that he really shined. He won the Unicorn Horn Sprint, Star Festival, Tick Tock Sprint, Salamon Stakes, and finally, his last race of the season, the prestigious Breeder's Cup Sprint. He placed second in the Boy's Festival, Buttercup Sprint, Starshine Sprint, Superstar Sprint, Red Wine Sprint, and his last race ever, the MHS Secret Rose. That year he also placed third in two races - the Sunny Days Stakes and So Sassy Sprint.

_{This was a border line choice. It was tough for me to do but I said yes because of the following reasons:

*Though they might not seem like such HUGE wins he is a sprinter and raced solidly throughout all the sprints.
*He also got better over the years and a lot of work was put into him.
*Winning Best Sprinter three years in a row is a great accomplishment.
*There is not yet one sprinter in the Hall of Fame.}
