Drive On Beauty is the bookmakers favorite to win the €10,000 Bernard Barry Christmas Oaks at Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium. The talented greyhound has been winning her last three races and is considered a strong contender in the third semi-final.
Drive On Beauty is the favorite to win the €10,000 Bernard Barry Christmas Oaks at Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium following her 28.29 win last week. Trained and owned by Christopher O’Donovan, this daughter of Droopys Sydney – Droopys Alice burst onto the Dublin scene last month winning her last three races over the 525 yards trip, improving with each run. This talented lady is the one to beat in the third semi-final with two to qualify from each of the three heats to make up the final six.
She is 4/1 in the outright betting, so the value is still there. She has beautiful early pace, stays the trip well and is one to look forward to seeing race in 2025. Obvious dangers are Deelish Nora in trap three for John F McGee, Is She There in four for Rosemary Price and last week’s beaten 4/6 favourite Short Grip in five for Patrick John Cocoman. A very hot heat but Drive On Beauty is the one for me to get a run on the outside. Grangeclare Lady is 5/1 to be crowned the Christmas Oaks champion for trainer Owen McKenna. This fast lady has bundles of speed and is enjoying a purple patch winning her heat last week in 28.42 for her owner Peter Comerford. She showed tremendous early pace once her paws hit the sand, outpacing trap six here Beretta Brandi on the run up to the first bend. Grangeclare Lady went on to win by two lengths so I think it will be more of the same in this opening heat. Heat winner Velvet Duchess will like trap two so she is a danger along with Silverhill Freya in trap three who will fly home for trainer Graham Holland. Lets Go Bubbles ran an excellent race in the opening round for trainer Owen McKenna on her first race back since her lay-off. She broke well and led most of the way, but Youandme Babe came home strong for trainer Paul Hennessy and the pair meet again in heat tw
