The Kevin Heffernan Stakes was the 16th stakes success for Bomber Bill whose earnings stand at over $1.8 million. He has raced in every state of Australia, with the exception of Tasmania, been to Dubai and Hong Kong, and won three Gr 1 races, the first, WATC Karrakatta Plate, in 1998, the second, MVRC Australia Stakes, in 2001, and the third, SAJC Goodwood Handicap, in 2003.
