About

Granite Bay is a 4yo bay horse trained by J P Fahey of Kildare. He is by Time Test out of the dam Indira and has secured three wins so far. The horse’s top performance came on 24 Sep 2024 at Listowel, where it captured the $17,000 Hcp. It has been a profitable selection for punters; backing Granite Bay throughout its career would have delivered a 106% return on investment.
