Burning Bell blazes into open company

BURNING BELL brings up career victory number seven

---

Talented sprinting mare Burning Bell recorded her seventh career win in dashing style over the 1000m at Eagle Farm.

Prepared by new Gold Coast training duo Toby Edmonds & Stephen McLean, Burning Bell was perfectly ridden by Ryan Maloney.

The win took her record to 7 wins & 3 placings from 20 starts for the six year-old daughter of Black Caviar’s sire, Bel Esprit.

“It’s incredibly difficult to get horses to win their way to open company these days,” said OnTrack CEO Grant Morgan.

“She is such a lovely mare who gives her all. She just might be getting better with age too. I think that would have to be a career best rating today.

Morgan paid credit to the win to Edmonds and Maclean.

“Toby and Stephen have done an amazing job to keep this mare fresh and well. They get her back to the farm between runs and into the paddock and arena.

“It’s working well and we will continue to race her like this leading into the winter carnival where she can hopefully get some black type.

“She is going to make a lovely broodmare for someone when her racing days are over, particularly as such as sound and lightly raced mare with an incredible winning strike rate of 35%,” said Morgan.

Burning Bell was an inexpensive yearling purchase for Ontrack and what is now a large ownership group. Purchased from the COVID impacted 2020 QTIS Magic Millions Yearling Sale, Burning Bell was secured for just $38,000.

Burning Bell is the second foal from the 2yo stakeswinning Sequalo mare Flamenco. Like top sires Written Tycoon and Capitalist, Burning Bell was bred in Queensland by prodigious winner getting farm Daandine Stud at Warwick.
