CLUB BELLE STEPS OUT 
Belleluia, the Eliza Park-bred filly raced on lease by The Thoroughbred Magazine Club, couldn’t have been more impressive in finishing fourth, under a tight hold, in her first official barrier trial at the Cranbourne Training Complex last Monday.
Belleluia, ridden by Ivan Culliver, looked every bit a racehorse as she finished her 800m trial off strongly to cross the line about three lengths behind the winner Fivestar Lass, who set a cracking pace.
The time for the trial, run on ground rated a slow 6, was a slick 47.89 seconds – the second fastest of the eight 2YO trials of the morning (fastest was 47.54s).
Belleluia is a 2YO daughter Eliza Park’s Champion Victorian sire Bel Esprit from the stakesplaced mare Song Of The Sun (by Desert Sun from Song Of Norway). The filly is a three-quarter sister to Bel Esprit’s exciting stakeswinning 2YO Black Caviar (ex
Belsinge, by Desert Sun from Scandinavia) – Song Of The Sun and Scandinavia are half-sisters.
Scandinavia also is the dam of Eliza Park’s promising second-season, Group 1 winning sire Magnus (by Flying Spur).
Trainer Robbie Griffiths was delighted with Belleluia’s performance: “She really has a lot to learn, and I was pleased by the way she finished off her trial.
“Being a tall filly with such a long stride, I don’t think she handled the wet track all that well, but once she got balanced, she looked very good,” he said.
Griffiths said that because Belleluia is in a growth spurt, he feels it is an opportune time to spell her for six weeks at Eliza Park.
