Purchased for $175,000 by Ben McElroy for CJ Thoroughbreds at the Fasig-Tipton July 2019 Sale.
After being purchased, Flying Aletha went to Wesley Ward’s farm in Florida for her early training.
When it was time for her race debut, she did not disappoint.
A week later, she arrived in England for Royal Ascot.
