Bred in Florida by Hall of Fame trainer Horatio Luro, Wayward Lass was bought in 1980 by Carl Lizza, Jr. for $30,000 at the then-Florida Breeders Sales Co.[1] She was raced under the nom de course, Flying Zee Stable, a racing partnership between Lizza, Jr. and Herbert Hochreiter, partners in a Long Island, New York heavy-construction company.
Wayward Lass made her racing debut at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York in June 1980 for trainer Jose Martin.
However, the filly did not get her first win until her eighth start in October at Belmont Park but then won her next outing, the Schuylkill Stakes at Keystone Race Track in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
Bred next to Noble Nashua, a stallion owned by Flying Zee Stable who then sold her in foal at the November 1983 Keeneland Sales for $2.35 million.
[6] While in foal to City Zip, Wayward Lass died of a heart attack on July 10, 2003 at Gus Schoenborn Jr.'s Contemporary Stallions near Coxsackie, New York.
