Tinkler, who has sent out 37 winners already this season, was refreshingly candid about her earlier in the year, admitting she had been a touch immature through her first few runs and that he was desperate to get a win on the board for her. That honesty is telling — it means the team knew the talent was there, they just needed her to grow up and put it together. She duly did exactly that, winning at Redcar on 17 October 2025.
The trouble since that breakthrough is that her form has gone in the wrong direction. Her five most recent results read 10-1-4-6-4, meaning that Redcar win sits at second in the sequence, sandwiched between a fourth before it and a sixth, a fourth, and most recently a tenth. A finish of tenth, especially for a horse who has already shown she can win, is the kind of result that raises questions. She raced just one day ago, so this is a horse in the thick of an active campaign, still being tested and still being asked to find answers.
What keeps the interest alive is Tinkler's record and his evident belief in her. A yard producing 37 winners in a season is not guessing — these are people who know when a horse has ability. Bella Delizia arrived at that Redcar victory after patience and persistence, and that win proves she can deliver on the right day. Whether she can recapture that level consistently is the question her next few races will answer.
