Brassy BellBought by Victory Thoroughbredsprincipal Shane Ciurleo for $29,000 on gavelhouse.com  in late July, the well-related daughter of Rip Van Winkle looks like she will fill the racing partnerships brief of providing fun and lots of rewards for those that want to experience racehorse ownership without a huge monetary investment.

"We will see how she is how she is over the next few days before we decide whether we back her up or not."
