Description

THINKING BELLE is a strong, attractive daughter of promising broodmare sire SO YOU THINK. She is from Stakes Placed ORBITING BELLE and is a half sister to Stakes Placed CURVATURE.

THINKING BELLE’S first foal was retained by the breeder to race and is currently in work. By FIORENTE, the promising 3yo gelding is developing with age. Her second foal, by TERRITORIES, was purchased by Gary Portelli at last year’s Inglis Australian Weanling Sale for $24,000.

THINKING BELLE is in foal to Kingstar Farm’s TIME TO REIGN. This is a 20/20 G1 Goldmine match, indicating an excellent mating as there are at least two superior horses with a similar pattern as the resulting foal.

TIME TO REIGN is a Silver Slipper winner with a Golden Slipper pedigree. A half brother to Slipper heroine SHE WILL REIGN, TIME TO REIGN had two 2yo wins before Christmas and then won the Group 2 Silver Slipper in the Autumn. In his juvenile year, he defeated the likes of up and coming sires YES YES YES, BIVOUAC, DUBIOUS, COSMIC FORCE and TASSORT. TIME TO REIGN’S first crop have sold up to $50,000, more than 5x his service fee.

THINKING BELLE stands approximately 16 hands and is easy to handle around the farm and in the crush etc.
