Kainui Belle Too Quick In Eulogy

15 December 2003

Smart filly Kainui Belle proved too strong in Saturday's Gr.3 Robertson Motors Eulogy Stakes (1600m) at Manawatu.

Kainui Belle (Kashani x Lady Ukiah) trained by Vanessa and Wayne Hillis, cleared away in the straight and held off fast finishing Classic Clare (Gold Brose x Funny Features) and Wharite Princess (His Royal Highness x Regal Visit) to claim the Gr.3 win.

Her win in the Eulogy also gave Kainui Belle 6 points in the New Zealand Bloodstock Filly of the Year Series which places her on 13 points to close on the lead held by Taatletail (Faltaat x Defensive Lady) who has 24 points in the Series.

Making their first points in the Series were the Shane Kennedy trained Classic Clare who's second placing gave her 3 points and the Lisa Latta trained Wharite Princess claimed 1.5 points from her third placing.
