A fast, precocious and Melbourne City Winner earning just short of $200k in prizemoney, Zesty Belle present as a fantastic opportunity for breeders ahead of the upcoming season and she's completely free of Danehill!
A gorgeous physical type, Zesty Belle was a 2 x winner, Flemington winner and precocious Melbourne City placed 2yo. By Denman, the Broodmare Sire of this year's Listed Blue Diamond Preview Winner THE INSTRUCTOR (by Russian Revolution) as well as Stakes Placed 2yo STEADY READY (by Better Than Ready), recent Listed Winners PRINCESS DUHALLOW (by Shalaa) and CASINO SEVENTEEN (by Casino Prince) and Stakes Placed OUR HEIDI (by Shamus Award). And out of 2 x winner Autumn Zest, a daughter of 2yo Stakes Winner Empower and a producer of multiple winner and stakes placed Luen On Eagle as well as city placed Jacky Paper.
A precocious 2yo, Zesty Belle kicked her racing career off when favourite in the first 2yo race of the VIC season at Flemington when she was only 4L behind subsequent Stakes Winner MILDRED. She returned in the Winter of her 2yo year with 3 x consecutive City Placings including a close 2nd at Flemington.
She then trained on into her 3yo season where she broke her maiden first up impressively as a $1.50 favourite before stepping straight up to City level and blowing them away at Flemington 2nd up in fast time over 1100m. She then raced competitively at Metropolitan & Stakes level with multiple placings and little luck for the remainder of her 3yo season before minor soundness issues eventually got the better of her as an older horse.
ZESTY BELLE is a mare that was blessed with an abundance of natural ability, early precocity, natural speed, good looks and great conformation. She is only lightly raced, very well looked after throughout her racing career and retires to the breeding barn with so much to offer. She will make an excellent addition to any broodmare band for the upcoming season.
Being free of Danehill, she has a wealth of wonderful commercial stallions at her doorstep.
Independent vet inspections are encouraged and welcome.
