For any trainer and jockey, a filly like Songbird (Medaglia d’Oro) is supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime proposition. Not so for Mike Smith and Jerry Hollendorfer. They might have another one, one that could be just as good.
Exactly 16 months after Songbird broke her maiden by 6 1/2 lengths at Del Mar, the Hollendorfer team brought another freakishly fast filly to the winner’s circle at the seaside oval in second-time starter Unique Bella (Tapit). A Pennsylvania-bred, she won a maiden race Saturday at Del Mar by 10 1/4 lengths and was tabbed a “TDN Rising Star”.
“Ability-wise and as far raw talent goes, I don’t know if they get as talented as she is,” Smith said of Unique Bella.

Promising Hollendorfer 2yo filly Unique Bella worked 4f in 46.60 at @santaanitapark
this morning, best of 35 at distance, labeled breezing
With her imposing size and rating ability, Unique Bella looks more like
Kentucky Drrby potential than Kentucky Oaks IMO. Sensational!

What a display. It was shades of Songbird this afternoon at Santa Anita Park as a Jerry Hollendorfer trained sophomore filly dismantled the field in the Grade 2 Santa Ynez. The filly in question is Unique Bella, and today she announced herself as the most promising three-year-old filly in the nation.

Unique Bella was getting major attention back then
She's a beauty
ZATT's Star of the Week, is ... Unique Bella!
Also, Carlos Heller sounds as if the derby is a very real dream and so if this filly shows the talent adding panals, maybe she'll give it a go.
