Smart Hellbent Filly Wins $200,000 Wellington Boot

Tara Madgwick - Sunday Apr 12

Triple Crown Syndications are enjoying the ride with talented Hellbent filly Hellenic Belle, who scored a stylish victory in the $200,000 Wellington Boot (1100m) on Sunday.

Prepared by Annabel and Rob Archibald, Hellenic Belle made her debut with a midfield finish in the Group III ATC Magic Night Stakes behind Pembrey and then cast off maiden status last month at Muswellbrook.

Dispatched out to the central west of NSW to Wellington for this lucrative country juvenile feature, Hellenic Belle was given a positive ride by Braith Nock and proved too good in a big field of 14.

She sat outside the leader and gave a great kick off the turn before going on to win by a length and a quarter over the Bjorn Baker trained filly Better Off Alone.

A $145,000 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale purchase for Triple Crown Syndication from the Attunga Stud draft, Hellenic Belle has now had two wins from three starts earning $156,625.

Hellenic Belle was a $145,000 Magic Millions National Yearling purchase.

She is a full sister to Group II placed Marokopa Falls and is the fourth winner from four foals to race from winning Ready’s Image (USA) mare Beside You.

Beside You was covered again last spring by Hellbent, who is enjoying a career best season on the track earning him a service fee increase to $55,000.
