Prominent Australian owner Damion Flower has paid $285,000 for a Scat Daddy yearling filly at the Fasig Tipton sale at Saratoga.

Flower and his trainer Gerald Ryan will return to Sydney from New York later this week but the filly out of Me And Miss Jones will stay in the United States to race for the time being.

Ryan said she would be trained by Bill Mott, best known for training champion Cigar during the 1990s.
