A CLASSY grey filly with good bone and athleticism won the overall award in the Celtic Ross Hotel 3,000 Irish Draught Foal championship at Bantry Show for Pat Hennessy, Skeaf, Timoleague.

The winner, which had come out on top in the filly class, came into the final with a strong track record having already lifted the 2005 RDS foal championship.
