Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 12, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 12, 2018 Champion and ‘TDN Rising Star‘ Unique Bella (Tapit) will be an extremely short price in Friday’s GI Apple Blossom H. at Oaklawn Park. The grey won five of six last season, capped by a win in the seven-panel GI La Brea S. Dec. 26 that ultimately landed her an Eclipse Award for top female sprinter. But her prowess around one turn certainly doesn’t mean she can’t handle two bends or this nine-furlong trip. She was the early GI Kentucky Oaks favorite last year thanks to route romps in the one-mile GII Las Virgenes S. and GIII Santa Ysabel S., and the nine furlongs of this event didn’t look like it’d be any kind of obstacle when the grey crushed her competition by nine lengths and earned a career-best 109 Beyer Speed Figure on seasonal debut in the Feb. 10 GII Santa Maria S. Forced to miss the GI Santa Margarita at home due to a cough, the daughter of 2010 GI Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic heroine Unrivaled Belle (Unbridled’s Song) will be shipping away from her California home for the first time and might have some wet weather to contend with. Unbridled Mo (Uncle Mo), second choice on the morning line at 5-1, annexed the GIII Houston Ladies Classic and GIII Doubledogdare S. in an abbreviated two-race 2017 campaign. She was fourth in the GIII Royal Delta S. over a one-turn mile at Gulfstream Feb. 19. Four-time Grade II winner Farrell (Malibu Moon) was the best of three returnees from the Mar. 17 GII Azeri S.-she finished third.
