To get a sense of how bad Proud Belle is, you only need to look at TRAKUS for her race at KEE (4/5/08 R9); in particular, ground covered (feet)
in order of finish
2) Bsharpsonata +26
3) Proud Spell
+54 and didn't handle the track
4) Life is Sweet +14
5) Country Star
+65
etc.
In fact, this SUCKUP only ran LESS than a single horse in the race--the last place finisher and this by 3 feet.
What a shock that she ran 2nd in the Oaks. Then again, EDGAR was on Pure Clan.
So, to say that Little Belle is NOT MUCH, is to state the OBVIOUS.
Unless, you're one of the 'competition'; and we certainly encourage your opinions.
