Brilliant Belle

Sun 31 Aug 2025

Winner 55 of 2025: ARVANA BELLE, trained by Rod Millman and ridden by George Wood. ‘Brighton & Hove Fostering Nursery Handicap’ over 6f at Brighton.

Arvana Belle was purchased this time last year at the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sales and got off to a great start in the nursery company, recording her first full success. Our daughter of Kodi Bear, had to overcome trouble in running, with the eventual runner-up getting in her way in the home straight, but despite greenness in the closing stages, she showed great tenacity and got up in the final 100 yards.

Gamble landed!

Backed into 11/8 from 16/1 before the off, Arvana Belle finds room for manoeuvre late on and duly battles on to land the spoils at @BrightonRace!@GeorgeWood20 @millmanracing pic.twitter.com/4tiCNqCIQq

Listen to George Wood, who spoke to Hayley Moore from Sky Sports Racing after the race:

"Hopefully there's a little bit more in there!"
