Bella Nipotina underlined her class with a second Queensland Carnival win, accounting for her own sex to win the Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara at Eagle Farm, the final elite-level race of the season.
Ridden patiently by Ryan Maloney, who replaced Craig Williams, the six-year-old charged past imported mare Bubble Rock before holding stablemate Semana through the line.
Bella Nipotina is now a three-time Group 1 winner, with her Tiara title sitting alongside a Doomben 10,000 and a Manikato Stakes as her crowning accomplishments across a 52-start career.
She is the most successful progeny of Coolmore’s Pride Of Dubai, who has 23 individual black-type winners, four of whom have won a Group 1.
