I would not agree that Unbridled Belle was a horse who ran much better at Delaware Park than other tracks.
She beat Amandatude by a neck in one of her stakes wins there - and was 2nd to Peak Maria's Way in stake defeat.
She won the Delaware Handicap by 7.75 lengths with a 104 Beyer over Lilla Page .. but two races later she ran back to that 104 Beyer when she won the Beldame at Belmont Park at like 6/1.
She beat Copper State while totally loose on the lead in the following years Obeah .. than was routed next out by Hystericaladly in the Delaware Cap. Her 3rd place finish in her first start after her two final Delaware races got her back to that figure.
To me - she was about the same horse at Delaware Park as elsewhere numbers wise .. and if you look at the horses who were 2nd to her in those Delaware wins ... Moravia, Amandatude, Lila Paige, and Copper State .. it's like a who's who of claiming horses.
