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.

I am not engaged here in a discussion about Little Belle. My point related to a comment regarding Unbridled Hearts first race under Godolphin. That's all. You are all welcome to your opinions about little belle. She did win however and I think it is at least agreed that the horse was very game in the stretch after running on the lead all the way. BUT AGAIN, MY POINT WASN'T ABOUT LITTLE BELLE BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO HORSES THAT GO TO GODOLPHIN. jeesh. But, if you are reacting to my comments regarding another member here than at least put it out there.
