About

Te Rapa R8 Ember Signage Solutions Mile (Bm75) – Opera Belle is a 6yo brown mare trained by Kylie Hoskin. She is by Reliable Man out of Kiri. To date she has secured three victories, the most notable being the $40,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap at Otaki on 26 Sep 2025. Punters have found her profitable; a lifelong backing would have yielded a 52% return on investment.
