No doubt, Unique Bella is an incredible race horse. However, she can be a bit of a head case, like her dam was. So was Beholder in her younger years. Remember how Beholder threw a hissy fit at the gate for the KY Oaks?
Unique Bella is a handful. Anyone see her antics while training in the walking ring, she needed TWO men handling her. I'm anxious for her going to the KY Oaks with all the people and noise, etc. Hope she gets some cotton in her ears ala Zenyatta.
Yet look how well Mandella trained and conditioned Beholder! I am confident Hollendorfer will get UB to calm down and be more focused. Next year, when she is more mature, will be a good year to tackle the boys.
