Unique Bella Full Sister at Timber Town Stables

Her mother, Unrivaled Belle, is a Breeders' Cup Champion, and her full sister Unique Bella is a dual Eclipse Champion. This Tapit filly has some big shoes to fill. We spoke to Wayne and Cathy Sweezey about their new addition.

While she enjoys the care-free life of a newborn now, the young filly has much to live up to someday when she steps onto the track. Her mother, Unrivaled Belle (Unbridled's Song), is a three-time graded stakes winner and Breeders' Cup Champion. Her full sister, TDN Rising Star Unique Bella (Tapit), is a three-time GI winner who was named champion female sprinter in 2017 and champion older dirt female the next year.

This filly marks Unrivaled Belle's sixth foal, and the third foaled at Timber Town since owner Mandy Pope of Whisper Hill Farm went to $3.8 million for the elite mare in 2016. The champion mare has checked back in foal to Tapit for next year.
