Flying Water, who ran eleven times and won six races in her career, is an offspring of Habitat and Formentera and also came from a pedigree of known racehorses such as Sir Gaylord and Riibot.
In a racing career which was disrupted by injury, she ran eleven times and won six races between July 1975 and June 1978. Flying Water was a dark chestnut filly with a white star and a white sock on her left foreleg, bred in France by Dayton Ltd. She was sired by Habitat, an American-bred, British-raced miler who became one of the leading European stallions of the 1970s and 1980s. Sir Gaylord Ribot
