Previously, Belle represented Sydney based racehorse syndication companies Triple Crown Syndications and Champion Thoroughbreds in the role of Racing Manager, cutting her teeth on bloodstock sales, marketing and relationship building.

Belle has most recently worked with NSW breeders, trainers and owners as a Territory Manager with Hygain and Mitavite feeds in equine nutrition.

"I am incredibly proud to be joining the Kia Ora team. The farm has a significant history in Australia's breeding and racing industry where they have consistently produced top-class racehorses for over 100 years," said Belle.

"Along with the recent acquisition of Captivant, another top-class 2YO colt and spectacular physical type, there's plenty to look forward to," Belle concluded.
