Bella Delizia

He got it. On 17 October 2025 at Redcar, Bella Delizia finally delivered, and the relief in the Tinkler yard must have been real. It was the kind of win that feels earned rather than simply taken — the product of sticking with a horse through a run of frustrating results. Her recent form reads 8-6-10-1-4-6, and that 1 sitting in the middle of a sequence of moderate finishes tells the whole story: one moment where everything clicked, surrounded by races where it did not.

The tricky part is that the win came eight months ago, and since then Bella Delizia has struggled to recapture that form, finishing no better than fourth in her subsequent runs. She raced just yesterday, which means this story is still being written. The Tinkler yard has been in solid form this season, sending out 37 winners, so the infrastructure around her is not the problem. At three years old, there is still time for her to build on that Redcar breakthrough — but she will need to show she can do it more than once before anyone starts getting too excited.
