Dark Fate brings up hat-trick on big night for Kempshall kennel
Dark Fate stepped out in her 99th career start at Grafton on Sunday night and brought up a third-straight win on a successful night for her kennel.
Trained by Sonia Kempshall, Dark Fate lined up in the 350m masters' contest as a -250 favourite with online greyhound betting sites.
Out of box three, she went straight to the lead as she held the front for the entire journey to salute.
She beat home Smooth Bella (+2500) and Daley Magic (+550) by three quarters of a length in a time of 20.09.

Her career kicked off with a win in January 2021, beating home Bokarm Pete by one and a half lengths over the Casino 300m journey.
The Premier Fantasy x Back To Business bitch has 24 wins and 40 placings from 99 career starts and has banked $58,540 for her connections.
The Kempshall kennel had five runners on the card and finished with a winning treble in Lexi Boost, Undivided and Dark Fate.
The kennel will also have two runners – Vigne Unleashed and Master Class – in the Million Dollar Chase Regional Final at Grafton next week.
