Description

BONNIE BELLE (NZ) is by the Group 1 winning sire KEEPER and is out of the VAN NISTELROOY (USA) mare VANNISTA BELLE. Keeper is the broodmare sire of 7 individual Stakes winners including the 3-time Group 1 winner THE BOSTONIAN, who won the Doomben 10,000 – Kingsford-Smith Cup double. Keeper has a 60.2% strike rate for winners to runners as broodmare sire. Vannista Belle is from the family of 10-time Group 1 winner and Champion Racehorse MELODY BELLE.

Bonnie Belle was a multiple winning mare who won races in both here in Melbourne and in New Zealand. Her first foal is a 2YO by Headwater who was sold for $52,000 as a yearling. She has a Manhattan Rain weanling colt who is being retained by the owners. He is a big, strong colt who stands over plenty of ground. In the 2019 breeding season, Bonnie Belle was served by GRUNT (NZ) and went in foal on her first cover in mid-September. Grunt won the Group 1 Australian Guineas as a 3YO before backing up to win the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes as a 4YO. He earned over $1.3 million in prizemoney before being retired to stud, where he covered 179 mares in his first season.
