20 June 09: Unbridled Belle and jockey Richard Migliore romp home with a win in the Obeah Stakes at Delaware Park in New Stanton, Delaware Team Valor International's Unbridled Belle has been simply terrific in her career at Delaware Park, winning five of seven starts at the track including the 2007 Delaware Handicap (gr. II). On July 19, the 6-year-old mare will try to continue her domination when she takes on six rivals in the $1 million event. Read More

 

What the Nation is saying about Unbridled Belle vs. Acoma in Del 'Cap...

I think Monmouth fits into her style way more than the Del. Cap, plus I'm not sure R.A. is going to be quite as effective going 10 furlongs. If the Preakness was another 16th of a mile longer, it's a totally different landscape right now.
I'm just curious if Rachael Alexandra's connections, given Unbridled Belle's success at Delaware Park and having won the Delaware Handicap before, plus the 1/1-4 mile distance of the race decided on entering her in the Haskell Invitational because of it being 1/1-8? Maybe they feel like she can beat the colts easier at 1/1-8 than she could beat Unbridled Belle at Delaware Park at 1/1-4.
Not that it matters, but it's Ack-Uh-Muh for this gal.
