Bio
Bella Ballerina was heavily bet in her career debut race at Keeneland on Oct. 5, 2025, and delivered with a big 4 1/4-length win at odds of 1.45-1 atop an 11-horse field to beat maidens at first asking. She stepped up against stakes horses in her second lifetime start and was victorious again in the Grade 2 $400,000 Golden Rod Stakes going 1 1/16 miles at Churchill Downs on Nov. 29.

She stepped up against stakes horses in her second lifetime start and was victorious again in the Grade 2 $400,000 Golden Rod Stakes going 1 1/16 miles at Churchill Downs on Nov. 29. Sent off as the 4.14-1 third choice on the tote board in a 10-horse field of 3-year-old fillies in the Golden Rod, Bella Ballerina raced second much of the way behind a runaway pacesetter and ranged up to assume the lead in upper stretch and remained in front through the stretch run to prevail for a half a length victory under jockey Tyler Gaffalione.
Bella Ballerina is trained by Brendan Walsh. She was bred in Kentucky by Godolphin by the sire Street Sense out of the mare Pretty City Dancer by Tapit.
