Of the seven colts and five fillies, none had more promise as a 2-year-old than Bellafina, an oversized filly that seemed unbeatable. After a second-place finish in her first race, she won stakes races by 4 ½, 4 ½ and, in the Grade 1 Chandelier Stakes at Santa Anita, 6 ½ lengths. She would have easily been crowned the Eclipse Award-winning best 2-year-old filly if she were to win the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, a race in which she was the favorite.
