Description
4 length last start winner on August 6!
Opera Belle is a four-year-old brown/grey mare who is being offered as a racing and breeding proposition.
She is a last start winner of a 2050m maiden at Wodonga, where despite racing wide in the early stages, she was able to convincingly defeat her opposition (in what was a higher rating race than the 2050m 0-58 following!)
As a lightly raced and sound mare, she has several seasons ahead of racing her - where she is capable of winning more races for new connections.
By Reliable Man, Opera Belle is out of the multiple stakes-winning mare KIRI who has had five horses to race, with four of them being winners. Opera Belle is a full-sister to MAIN STAGE who was a stakes winner and Group placed as a three-year-old and went on to earn over $500,000 throughout his career.
She is closely related to the international Stakes winner in three countries SKOOZI PLEASE and the family is very versatile, winning from 1100m-3200m.
Opera Belle is sound and has been in full work right up until this point. She is straight-forward to lead, handle & ride with no obvious vices.
Independent vetting inspections are welcomed and encouraged - with current records remaining the property of Busuttin Racing.
All of Opera Belle's race form/replays are accessible via the Racing.com app or website.
