About
Bella Francesca is a 5yo dark bay/brown mare from the United States trained by Heather Irion. She is by Santiva out of June's Best. To date she has won three races. On 23 May 2024 at Horseshoe Indianapolis she captured her biggest victory, winning the $100,000 Hcp. The horse has been a solid money‑maker for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 170% return on investment.
