Una Bella d'Oro: Don Alberto's New Golden Girl

Unique Bella was the first GI winner for Don Alberto Stables, but she would go on to become a two-time Eclipse champion. This year, she had her first foal– a filly by Medaglia d'Oro named Una Bella d'Oro.

The daughter of champion sire Tapit retired in the summer of 2018 as a millionaire with eight graded stakes wins and two Eclipse awards to her credit. The towering gray filly was a fan favorite throughout her career and a top earner for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. She was sent to Don Alberto's new farm in Lexington upon retirement. The former 440-acre Vinery Farm was purchased by Don Alberto in 2013.

The next year, she was bred to top Darley stallion Medaglia d'Oro, the sire of 25 individual Grade I winners including Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra, dual Eclipse winner Songbird and Canadian Horse of the Year Wonder Gadot.
