About

Battling Bessie is a 7-year-old mare from the United Kingdom, trained by Peter Fahey in Kildare. She is sired by Helmet and her dam is Batiste. Throughout her career, Battling Bessie has won one race. Her most notable victory occurred on May 8, 2021, at Cork, where she was ridden by Miss A Fahey and claimed first place in the $11,000 Irish Stallion Farms EBF 4-Year-Old Fillies Flat Race, beating Skinnider. She has been a profitable horse for bettors over time, yielding a 171 percent return on investment for those who backed her throughout her career.
