About
Earl Of Bantry, a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Ciaron Maher in Ballarat. He is by the stallion Power out of Bantry House. To date he has won six races. On 18 Oct 2025 at Newcastle he secured his biggest triumph, the $50,000 Jungle Juice Cup Cond. He has been a profitable horse for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 41% return on investment.
