Santa Anita Race 8
3 - Unique Bella
Meet the new prized filly for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and jockey Mike Smith. This 3-year-old has the connections, ability and pedigree to be something special. She was already a potential star with Unbridled's Song and Tapit in her bloodlines, but now after a 10+ length maiden victory at Del Mar in November she is the deserving favorite in the Grade II Santa Ynez. Unique Bella returned the top speed figure and quickest 6F (1:09) time of the field on a major track in that win. This filly is on the rise and should make quick work of the other runners as she makes your stakes debut. Unique Bella is Sunday's best bet and also a horse to watch in the future.
