Tara Madgwick - Tuesday May 25

Melody Belle was not the only daughter of former outstanding sire Commands to sell for seven figures at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale on Tuesday with the Glenesk Thoroughbreds consigned Bella Vella knocked down for $1.9million to Rosemont Stud.
 



Winner of the 2020 Group I SAJC Sangster Stakes (1200m), Bella Vella passed through the hands of five different trainers, but did her best work Will Clarken after she was sold through an Inglis Digital Sale in April 2019 for $22,500.

Bella Vella is a stunning daughter of Commands.

She blossomed as an older mare winning multiple stakes races and retires with earnings just shy of $900,000.
