Her Racing Story

What Matters

You should root for Bella Ballerina because she's a proven winner! With 3 wins from just 4 races, she shows she knows how to win at the highest levels. She's the daughter of Street Sense, a legendary racehorse who won millions of dollars. She's owned by Godolphin, which means she receives elite training and development. She's won at stakes racing level, which means she's competing against the toughest horses available. Her most recent victory shows she's getting better, not worse!

Caution

While Bella Ballerina is very impressive, she has extremely limited racing experience—only 4 career races. She hasn't raced as many times as other top contenders. All her races have been on fast dirt tracks—she hasn't proven herself on other surfaces. Still, her record so far is excellent.

Bella Ballerina earned 50 points on the Road to the Kentucky Oaks with her win in the Rachel Alexandra (G2) — the same prep her half-sister Pretty Mischievous won before taking the 2023 Kentucky Oaks. 🌺@Tyler_Gaff spoke about the unbeaten 3yo @godolphin homebred after Bella… pic.twitter.com/NOQxWrscmq
