CRAFTY BONDI STORMS TO KERRY OAKS SUCCESS

Barry Drake

CRAFTY BONDI (Ballymac Bolger-Coolavanny Bondi) ran out a brilliant winner of the €4,500 to the winner Barking Buzz Kerry Oaks Final on Friday night.

Peter Divilly's classy lady started as the short-priced 1-2 favourite and she didn't let her supporters down, making it three straight wins in the Kingdom.
The powerful running tracker delivered a sensational 28.01 performance in the semi-finals and although this winning run wasn't as quick, it was equally as good.

Fourth after the opening turns, Crafty Bondi displayed massive back straight speed to put herself in prime position. Ballymac Jade was setting a strong pace up front, but all eyes were on the Crafty runner between the final corners. Delivering a huge finish, the hot favourite stormed up the run-in to complete the hat trick, clocking 28.34, a length and a half clear of Ballymac Jade.

Three magnificent performances in recent weeks, she is a lady to watch in the coming weeks and coming months.
