The Bernard Barry Christmas Oaks market is heating up, with Boylesports swiftly releasing their odds and naming Short Grip as the early favourite at 5-1. Following her near-miss at the Winter Racing Festival, where she was edged out as the Juvenile Derby runner-up, bookmakers are confident she’s poised for redemption in this prestigious event.
Close on her heels is Grangeclare Lady, priced at 6-1. Trained by Owen McKenna, she showcased her incredible early speed with a commanding victory at the festival, solidifying her position as a top contender.
The next trio in the betting lineup—Mustang Fever, Deelish Nora, and Is She There—are each available at 10-1. Among the chasers, Drive On Beauty has been in stellar form at Shelbourne Park, delivering impressive performances in her last two outings, and shares 12-1 odds with Pennys Cailin and Lets Go Bubbles.
For those seeking value, longer-priced runners like Silverhill Freya and Arent We All at 14-1, or even Westway Rossa and Youandme Babe at 16-1, could provide an exciting edge in the unpredictable world of greyhound racing.
