The Moorebella Story..
 
Remarkable Moorebella, who Gary Sciacca had, was the mare that Jimmie "Boo-Yah" Wallace used in the Handicapping World Series in January at like 19-1... He was 4th at the time on the last day... She got in a bad jackpot thanks to Bridgemoron, and when finally in the clear closed to lose the photo... If she WINS... Jimmie wins the World Series and $360,000... Instead, he's 5th and wins $31,000...

After that he wanted to claim her.. His dad is a long-time owner-breeder-trainer type in Ohio... Had people responded, he'd have grabbed her two months ago... She's the Cris Carter of claiming mares.. She just scores touchdowns...

I am part of a group that had a chance to buy her after her second start. We chose to pass, but I am very glad she has continued to improve. Linda kinda liked her, but they wanted too much for what she had done to that point.

Geez...and I felt bad after only betting $100 to win on her that day.

She was a ZILLION the best. What a trip from start to finish. I bet her because she was " Sciacca-off ".

I like With due Respect to win this race today at Belmont. I think she is sitting on the best race of her career. :cool:

No excuse for my horse. She made an easy lead yet pooped out. Moorebella had a nice trip and looked like a winner only to get nailed late in the stretch. Nice effort though.

Gander, who caught her? I can't get on to see while i'm at work. :(

cajun twas the 1 and gander is right. No excuse

Gander 06-16-2006 02:18 PM

The 1 horse, Twighlight Gallop. She closed like a beast. As soon as she came into the picture, you knew it was game over for Moorebella, who had a perfect trip and did fire, but was simply 2nd best today.

With Due Respect is still running. LOL!
