Winner on debut as a Spring 2YO in the G3 Ottawa Stakes over 1000m at Flemington with Lankan Star, subsequently 2nd in the G1 Blue Diamond, and Stakes winners Champagne Boom and Sisstar in arrears.

Finished 2nd, beaten just 0.5 lengths, by subsequent dual G1-winning sprinter Loving Gaby, in the G3 Chairman’s Stakes over 1000m at Caulfield on her second start as a 2YO.

Bella Rosa was a $575,000 yearling purchase by Ciaron Maher.

Swiss Rose delivered a Zoustar colt foal in 2019 while her Medaglia D’Oro yearling filly will join the Waterhouse/Bott stable and her 2YO by Medaglia D’Oro is in training with Maher/Eustace.

G1 winners produced from fast, Australian Stakes-winning mares include Exceedance, Nature Strip, Sunlight, Pierata, Microphone etc.

“Bella Rosa was a very sharp, early 2YO type and typical of what we have come to expect of Snitzel. She proved hugely talented and highly precocious from an early stage, as she demonstrated when winning down the Flemington straight on debut as a pre-Christmas 2YO in the G3 Ottawa Stakes. Not only does she possess an abundance of speed, much like many in her family, she is also incredibly tough, with a strong constitution and a brilliant mind on her.” - David Eustace, Co-Trainer
