NY-Bred Bellacose Romps in Saratoga Debut

BELLACOSE (f, 2, Audible–Little Bullet, by Uncle Mo) continued a very positive start to the current meet for this barn, which was represented by GIII Sanford Stakes winner Mo Plex (Complexity) last Saturday. The 32-5 betting alternative to odds-on Vehemente (Vekoma), Bellacose won the break beneath Manny Franco and galloped his seven fellow firsters through an opening quarter in :22.20. With Vehemente improving one spot to try to take the race to the pacesetter nearing the stretch, Bellacose had plenty to give when popped the question and he rolled through the final furlong to score by an eye-catching 10 3/4 lengths. The winner's dam is a daughter of Bahnah (Elusive Quality), who took out the 2013 GIII Schuylerville Stakes at this venue, and was acquired by Beals Racing Stable for $11,000 at Fasig-Tipton February in 2020. Now the dam of of two winners from as many to race, Little Bullet also produced a yearling filly by Tacitus and a filly foal by Greatest Honour from the same sire line.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home.
