Fleet’s Pocket has left eighteen racing-age foals and fifteen have won races.
Her foals have won a combined total of one hundred and forty-six races for a total of $1,834,697.
Fleet’s Pocket was purchased by Lex and the late Heather Williams at the 2002 National Yearling Sales. Trained by Tim Butt, she raced for top place four times: fifth at Greymouth, before being mated as a three-year-old.
Her first foal Mighty Pocketlands (Badlands Hannover) ran four seconds in New Zealand before winning four races in Australia. She was the standard bearer of what would become Fleet’s Pocket’s astonishing breeding career.
Fleet’s Pocket’s second foal was Falcon’s Flybye (Falcon Seelster). She qualified, but did not race. However, as a broodmare she left Fleeting Grin (Grin from ear to ear) eleven wins, He Can Fly (Bettor’s joy) thirty-seven wins and $306,529, Alotbettor (Bettor’s joy) thirty-nine wins and $532,012 and Blitzembye seventeen wins and $291,235.
The biggest winners of Fleet’s Pockets are Mighty Flying Art (Art major) twenty-seven wins and $294,365, Mighty Flying Thomas (Falcon Seelster) twenty-four wins and $354,622, Flying Pocketlands (Badlands Hannover) the winner of twenty-one and $442,423 and Mighty Flying Deal (American ideal) twenty-one wins and $242,572.
Mighty Flying Miki is the last foal of Fleet’s Pocket and she has another foal that is still racing in Mighty Flying Lou (Dear Lou) who has won three for Ashburton trainer Lawrence Hanrahan. So it seems likely that this great mare’s record will be extended even further.
