About
Opera Belle is a 6yo brown mare trained by Kylie Hoskin at Byerley Park. She is by Reliable Man out of Kiri. To date she has secured three victories, including her biggest triumph on 26 Sep 2025 at Otaki, where she won the $40000.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 40% return on investment.
