Belle sews it up early in Christmas Oaks semi-final

Owned by Jim O’Kane, Belfast, the experienced bitch is usually a strong finisher and when she scorched from traps this heat was all but over. Off a 1.92 sectional, she was able to hold her inside line against Southern Sprint finalist Lislevane Swift and that, unsurprisingly, led to an impressive victory.
Leeview Lady got the better of Lislevane Swift in the battle for second place, as she stayed on nicely to get to within two and a half lengths of the 28.39 winner.
