About
Short Reply is a 5yo brown mare from Australia competing in the Ballarat R7 Ciaron Maher Racing BM56 Handicap and trained by Niki O'shea. She is by Grunt out of Belle's Ready. To date she has secured one win, achieved on 8 Nov 2024 at Pakenham in the $40,000 Maiden Set Weight, her most notable victory. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 50% return on investment.
