About

Blondie is a 10yo chestnut mare from Australia trained by Brendan McCarthy. She is by the stallion Reward for Effort out of the dam Divine Princess. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $200,200, Blondie is considered a racehorse of above-average ability. On 28th Oct 2017 at Moonee Valley, under jockey Blake Shinn, Blondie secured her most notable victory in the $120000 William Crockett Stakes, beating Tarcoola Spirit. She has been a lucrative horse for bettors throughout her career. Backing Blondie consistently would have yielded a 200% return on investment. Blondie has retired from racing, with her final race on 4th Sep 2019 at Ladbrokes Park Hillside.
