Melody Belle

TE Akau Racing won last Sunday’s Karaka Million with the Commands filly Melody Belle, a NZ$57,500 yearling at last year’s Premier sale. The 2YO 1,200 metre sprint at set-weights at Ellerslie was the 10th running of New Zealand Bloodstock flagship incentive race with the Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards-trained Melody Belle winning by a length and a quarter from the Savabeel filly Hasahalo and the Pins colt Felton Road.
