September 29th, 2021
She had her first run out the maidens over 1400m on the polytrack at Hollywoodbets Greyville. She raced from a handy position and did not go on with the effort. That was her first effort on the surface and the conditions on the day may not have suited her. She is a lot better than the run shows and should bounce back to best form in her next outing. See the replay here.

May 23rd, 2021
She made her racing debut at Hollywoodbets Scottsville over 1200m. She was restless in the barriers before the race. The manner in which she finished off her race was promising. She will come on with the run under her belt and there should be plenty of improvement to come.

Belle Tango is coming along nicely. She has strengthened up well over the summer and seems to be handling every challenge thrown her way.
October 19th, 2020
She is currently being spelled in the Western Cape, before we bring her into full training. Based with Sally Bruss, who has decades of experience with preparing horses for their racing careers, she seems to be maturing nicely and will turn into a very racy filly over the next few weeks.
