Bell's The One Returns To Churchill Downs Following Thoroughbred Club of America Victory

October 10, 2021

Lothenbach Stables’ Bell’s the One returned to trainer Neil Pessin’s base at Churchill Downs Saturday night following her victory in the 6-furlong Thoroughbred Club of America (G2).

Pessin reported things were fine this morning with Bell’s the One, who added Saturday’s score to her victory in the Lexus Raven Run (G2) here in 2019. In six sprints at Keeneland in her career, Bell’s the One has three wins, one second and two thirds.

The TCA victory secured a fees-paid berth into the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1) at Del Mar on Nov. 6. Bell’s the One finished third behind champion Gamine in last year’s Filly and Mare Sprint at Keeneland.

Plans are indefinite for Michael and Katherine Ball’s Club Car, who came up a neck short of victory.

“Not sure what is next, but it’s not going to be the Breeders’ Cup,” trainer Ben Colebrook said. “She has been running a lot, 12 times in the past 12 months.”
